I was just messing with my website, without even touching my forum and suddenly when I wanted to configure my forum, it said following error:

" ADODB.Connection error '800a0e7a'

Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed. "

-and then the line where I installed the forum.

it also said a specific line, which was the:

"'Set an active connection to the Connection object
adoCon.Open"

The thing is, that my forum worked perfectly like, 2-3 days ago. And therefore, I find it kinda weird that it wont work now. I didnt change anything or mess with the forum.

Oh btw, I am hosting it on my own server, but it should work as it did 2-3 days ago.

I use Microsoft's own webpage server...

Thx

This is a server error with the ODBC Drivers, they may need to be reinstalled.

Contact your web host.
