Looks like your connection string may be set up with extra or missing quote characters

At this point then, I'd check to make sure that any add-on/mod code was properly closing db connections, and that I was using the right mdac/ado version for the forums. I think you need mdac 2.8 - check the install directions to find out exactly.

If your mdac is ok, and your connections are not being left open, then you've probably exceeded the number of users you can habdle with an access db on that host.

The mdac thing is probably a long shot though - I think you'd see failures with less users if it was an invalid mdac. the following asp code can check your mdac/ado versionL

dim objAdoVer
Set objAdoVer = Server.CreateObject("adodb.connection")
response.write "ADOVersion = " & objAdoVer.Version
Set objAdoVer = Nothing

Common.asp setup just let me know if this is ok

'Set the timeout of the forum
Server.ScriptTimeout = 90
Session.Timeout = 20

'Set the date time format to your own locale if you are getting a CDATE error
'(this shouldn't ever be required in version 8 or above, but left in for backward compatibility)
'Session.LCID = 1033

Moved to Support forum!

Just a side note member_profile.asp?PF=24353&FID=20 - slayer051 , when you post a support question it's a better idea to use a descriptive title instead of just 'HELP!!!' this will help your question get answered and hopefully resolved much quicker!
Just something to bear in mind for the future

If this only happens when you get allot of users on your forum it means that Access is at it's connection limits.

MS Access is only a flat office desktop file and can NOT cope with many connections (usually 20 shared with all Access databases on the entire web server).

If you expect more than a handful of users per day you need to be running the mySQL or SQL Server versions as these are Database Management Systems (DBMS) rather than a desktop file so can handle many 1000's of simultaneous users.
