Hi,

my conection string to the db is:


strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("/db/wwForum.mdb")

this works ok when i go to the forum www.mysite.net/forum/

however, as i have subdomain and when i type http://forum.mysite.net
i get following error:


Microsoft JET Database 
Engine
'C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\foldername\mysite\forum\db\wwForum.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.

Not sure, what to do.

Well personally I would try setting strDbPathAndName to the actual physical path of the database (with the drive name & all the folders before it), like

strDbPathAndName = "C:\blah\blah\blah\db\wwForum.mdb"

That's what I do every time I need to connect to a database... see if that works...
