Can anyone please help with this?

My hotsing company suspended the site giveing this reason:
"The domain has been inappropriately using system resources, causing a reduction in service for other account holders. Database scripting on your domain has been responsible for maintaining open connections beyond the server timeout configuration. This has caused a mounting resource issue that has reached a critical level. Our Engineers have observer more than 10 concurrent connections to htdocs\forum\admin\database\wwForum.mdb."

Have you any idea what this means and how I can sort it?

Thank you

if your host will only allow 10 connections, then i think its time to find a few host or upgrade to SQL,

who is your host?

what version of access also are you running.

also may i advise you move the DB location outside of the website folders as your db is open to attacks.

The problem with Access is that it is very resource intensive, which is OK for small sites or small databases.

The problem with using Access as the backed for a forum is that if the forum is popular it will use allot of server resources as it is a flat file database system, each time a user connects to your forum the entire database needs to be loaded into the web servers memory.

In a shared hosting environment, if your database is over 10Mb in size and/or has allot of concurrent users, you should look into upgrading to MS SQL server version.
