My database has to be loaded up into a different folder, /db, but I can't seem to be able to find the right path to put in the common.asp file. The forum I've had to upload into a /www folder, under /www/folder/ so when I put "/db/wwForum.mdb" in, it tries to go to:

C:\webspace\resadmin\anti-starnet\anti-star.net\www\forum\db\wwForum.mdb

When I want it to go to:

C:\webspace\resadmin\anti-starnet\anti-star.net\db\wwForum.mdb

I've tried using "db/wwForum.mdb" but it tries to go here instead:

c:\nothing\db\wwForum.mdb

Using "//db/wwForum.mdb" just gives me an error about incorrect usage of "/" or "\".

I've run out of ideas of where to point the damn thing, so I was wondering if you had any suggestions?

Thanks.

Try starting the path out with this...

file:///C - file:///C |

Ok...I tried " file:///Cdb/wwForum.mdb - file:///C|db/wwForum.mdb " and it gave me the error that I had an invalid character in my path.

If you are using Server.Mappath then you need to put the path like "../../db/yourdb.mdb"
Or you can just cut the whole Server.Mappath and put the physical path as C:\webspace\resadmin\anti-starnet\anti-star.net\db\wwForum.mdb
