I've moved to a new webhost, Winsave.Com
 
I've given them the path to my database, via their control panel.
 
I get a
DSN Name DSN Path
checksix.data1 E:\web\*hidden*\\*hidden*\ForumDB\wwForum.mdb
 
(I've replaced my name with *hidden* for obvious reasons)
 
I'm stumped on common.asp
 

Before i had a physical path, entered it, and voila, all set up.  I'm not having that luck this time around.
 
I've tried entering only (and un-rem'ing) the DSN name...but no go.  I've inserted the path on a few lines, no go.
 
I cant seem to change permissions with this control panel...I'm thinking that's my issue.
 
What WOULD be the proper lines to edit and with what? 
 
Thanks in advance

i think

on line 235 replace

    'strCon = "DSN=DSN_NAME" 'Place the DSN where you see DSN_NAME

with

   strCon = "DSN=checksix.data1" 'Place the DSN where you see DSN_NAME

im not sure on the above as i dont use them, our techs deal with them.
