I have been using an ASP script for about a month without any problems. But now I get an error which is: "Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3), Invalid class string , /login_db.asp, line 134" I have not changed the script in any way since it was working. Can someone please help.

A part of the script with the line where error appears is shown below:

---------------------------------------------------------------

'Open a connection; we use a DSN-less connection
  Dim objConn
  Dim objRs

  Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") <------- Error

objConn.open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("bank.mdb")

'create a record set
Set objRs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
---------------------------------------------------------------

I am using Win XP, IIS is working properly as other scripts which donot require database connectivity are working allright.

Thanks for the time.

Try the following:-

Set objConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

The Server. part is only required for NT4 and not needed these days and can sometime course problems.

Did that as you suggested. Now I get the following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01AD)
ActiveX component can't create object: 'ADODB.Connection'

I would try reinstalling the Microsoft MDAC database drivers, if that doesn't work try reinstalling IIS.

Yes I reinstalled MDAC 2.8 again. That worked. Thanks a ton. I also got a step-by-step method of reinstalling MDAC 2.8 from this site:

Unfortunately, I could not find a way of reinstalling MDAC on Microsft sites; surely I missed it somewhere. This also came in handy: Component Checker from Microsoft.

Thanks a lot and I very much appreciate your help and time you gave
