I have just downloaded the poll with access 97, and there is a problem with it, after you have logged in at the admin.htm page, then click (add new weekly poll), then i type in my desired question to ask and so many chosen answers the click (add new weekly poll), this then goes to (add_new_weekly_poll.asp), but the page says the page cannot be displayed, then when i refersh the page it says (The new Weekly Poll has NOT entered into the Database as there are problems with it).

thanks for any help

This is not in the right forum, but ...

Does your database have write permissions enabled?

hi edd if you are running the database locally on your computer you must go to the polls folder and right click on the weekly_polls.mdb Access database. Go to propertie and then hit the security tab. Click Add and scroll down until you see IUSER and then add this. Make sure and give it write and read permissions ( this you do after you add the IUSER). I hope this helps. If it is hosted with you hosting company then you should contact them directly and ask them to place the permissions on the weekly_polls.mdb database.

Hope it helps
