Have you contacted your host yet? If you're receiving a permissions error then they've either stuffed up the permissions on the folder containing the database, or yoru connection string is incorrect.
There have been many, many posts made throughout the world...
This was one of them.

Heres my connection string:

strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & strDbPathAndName

As a graphical example, heres the latest kind of errors:

All I have done is put On error resume next  in the common.asp script (in forums folder not the admin one)

Btw - this only happens about once ever 5 or 6 times the page is displayed, so 90% of the time it works fine !!!

Well now the ISP has done something and the errors are less-frequent. And I find the OLEDB connection string is better, however, sometimes I get an error which actually lists the path to the database and the name! - Now the programmer says "change the name of the database for security reasons" - whats the point in this if the OLEDB driver gives away the path in an error message. The error message (although infrequent) is that the DB is not found in the path e:\bahbah etc\....

I have tried using on error resume next, but this is hopeless, many more frequent errors

How can I stop the path and DB name dfrom showing up ?

Just reporting back, a month or so later, to let you know that the forums ROCK. It was my host that sucked. I am now with new hosts and the forums work like a dream.

If anyone else uses a host that don't know what they are doing, they will get similar unpredictable errors, its not the forums which are at fault.

Thanks for your help, sorry for wasting your time
