Got this error when trying to view the forum on my own server:
(roughly translated)

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][Driver for ODBC Microsoft Access] Can not use '(unknown)'. The file is already in use.
/forum/common.asp, line 192

I think it has something to do with:

strSQL = "SELECT tblConfiguration.* From tblConfiguration;"
rsConfiguration.Open strSQL, strCon

I have given all the rights i can, and i use system-DSN:

strCon = "DSN=wwForum;UID=;PWD="

If your using the Access version download the database, and Compact and Repair it in MS Access. that should do it

Ok now i get another error:

Provider (0x80004005)
Undefined error
/forum2/common.asp, line 192

That's:

'Read in users ID number from the cookie
strLoggedInUserCode = Request.Cookies("Forum")("UserID")

You must have changed the common.asp file as line 192 shouldn't read that, try reuploading again.
