Error 80040e4d: Authentication failed

Hello all,

I installed WW Forums and everything seems to be going well except that when I try to access the Admin functions (after logging in of course), I get the following error:

Provider error '80040e4d'

Authentication failed.

/forum/admin/common.asp, line 178

Line 178 is "adoCon.Open"

This only occurs in the Admin section, but everything else works fine.

Any ideas? The database (MS ACCESS) is read/write and the connection string I'm using is the default:

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

I also tried to use the generic Access driver but it gave me another error.  I am using other ASP+MS ACCESS scripts on this server and they work fine with very similiar/the same connection strings and what have you.

Thanks!

I will open a ticket with our help desk to see if they can help out.

The odd thing is that, as far as I can tell, the code you're using in the admin common.asp file is exactly the same as the code in the general one - and that one works with no problems!

I Googled around and found a few links to the MSDN KB but none of them seemed to pertain to this particular situation.

Oh well, I'll keep checking and report back if I find a solution!
