Thank you very much, now I have fixed that which has given me another problem in IE6.0. I have turned off the friendly http error messages and when I try to view my forum (default.asp) I get the following error....

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

'd:\http\m\a\magneforcess.com\forum1\webwiz\forum\data\wwFor um.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

/forum1/webwiz/forum/common.asp, line 249

 

I am not sure where they are getting that info d:http\.... from I looked through my common asp file and did not see anything.

 

Any ideas??

Well, now don't mess up things.
Tell me either u deleted the database or u moved it to some other read n write folder.
u r getting this msg
d:\http\m\a\magneforcess.com\forum1\webwiz\forum\data\wwFor um.mdb'
leave d:\........a\ bcuz thats the full path from ur webhosts hard disk to ur website.
now as i said, change the path to database in common.asp file

I did move the database. I took it out of ../webwiz/forum/admin/database/wwForum.mdb

put it in magneforcess.com/data/wwForum.mdb

What did I do wrong?

Nops. first check that whether that folder /data has read n write permissions or not ? if it has, then go to the common.asp and see the path to database. change it to

/forum/ or else D:\................ data

that will do.
