getting a 405 Method Not Allowed POST error on submission of form. VB / ASP code with Access 2000 db in same directory. I think it is a problem with my connection string but am not sure. here it is:

DB_CONNECTIONSTRING = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("registry.mdb") & ";"

relative newbie with ASP. Any help is greatly appreciated.

doesn't look like a db error.

Show us the code from your form.

Cheers,
Andrew

here's the form code: (snip)

<form action="recordr.asp" method=post>
<input type="hidden" name="driver" value="form">

F. Name <input type="text" name="fname" size="30" maxlength="50">
L. Name <input type="text" name="lname" size="30" maxlength="50">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Thanks for any help.

This error happens on Unix web servers, ASP doesn't run very well on Unix you will be better changing hosts to a Windows web server, or using PHP.

thanks a lot. I just checked, and that is the case. Looks like I'm either learning PHP for my Linux server, or moving to a Windows server.

Thanks again.
