I just downloaded a new WWF (Access), it works fine, i can post and delete and all have full control of the forum, but when i enter the admin area i get this error...

Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
Unspecified error
/fgcportal/admin/common.asp, line 209

Im running it on local by the way and using XP Pro!!

I tried using both 'Virtual path to database' and 'Physical path to database' but still the same error!! Is there a reason for this error??

I've look through the tutorials on this site and even set the permission to 'Full Control' but still no luck!!

LiL Help!!

Line 209 for me is this


'Replace harmful SQL quotation marks with doubles
 
strUsername = formatSQLInput(strUsername)

so I assume you altered the code, and we would need what's in yout file on that line.

I am, the code above that is


'Set the connection string to the database

adoCon.connectionstring = strCon
 
'Set an active connection to the Connection object

adoCon.Open

I didnt modify the code in anyway, ive replaced the common.asp file with a new one and its the same error!!

ok,

as its access the database may have become corrupt, try a compact and repair on it,

also if that doesn't work make sure the paths ok , (i know you say its right).

Its right, i just unzipped the files there like that, just compact and repaired (again) and still the same thing, its a new forum downloaded 2days ago!!

But see its working outside the admin area, so i dont really think its the DB, i can post and and do the whole 9 but cant access the admin area!! and the piece of code on the line of the error is adoCon.Open

i dont understand this!!

Im running on local by the way (got it working) and have tried both Virtual and Physical path to DB

The problem is that access is not built to handle a lot of users. If you keep getting this error its because the access database cannot handle what you are trying to do.

Your only solution to fixing this is to restart IIS everytime this error comes up or change to MSSQL.
