I've just downloaded a backup of the database for my forum, made 1 very small change, saved and reuploaded to the same directory.

I am now receiving an errror:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

'C:\sample\www\DB\sample.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

/forum/common.asp, line 260

____________________________________________________

I tried for hours to work that out to no avail, so I re uploaded a blank/new forum and linked to the previous database which works fine, but when I try to post a message it says: Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.

The line that error come's from is


'Insert    the new    Thread details in the recordset
        .AddNew


The update error came up initially on the default page but has since dissappeared without actually making any changes... so there isn't an issue with updating :S

Hope that all makes sensE?
