I am just new to this type of thing and was wondering if there was anyone out there to help me out, I have downloaded all the asp files for the forum but i dont have much knowledge of using Access (unfortunately have to us access for our work server), I need to know what to do in regards to setting up the database.

Sorry for being a Biff!!!!!

Any help appreciated

Tony

1) this is the wrong forum, if its about Web Wiz Forum, use the WebWizForum support forums

2) you shouldnt have to do anything to your database to set it up, you should just need to upload files and your done (pritty much)

if your going to use Access you should put it somewhere where it wont be accessable from the domain (eg dont have it so people can go to www.domain.com/forum/database.mdb)

and enter the location to the database inside the database connection file (i think its inside the "database" folder)

if you didnt get a database with the forum make sure you downloaded the access version

http://www.webwiz.net/web_wiz_forums/docs_menu.asp?mode=forum - also make sure you read the forum help files
(they come WITH the forum)

are you using it internally or externally?
