I have changed the name and location of the DB, I have tested the forums on my PC running IIS and using the Access DB provided in the download, and it works fine.

I uploaded it to my Webserver and I am having problems. The first time I tried to get in, the default.asp came up. I then tried to login using the admin login provided I was given an error. Now everytime I go to the forum site I get this error message.

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Operation must use an updateable query.

/forum/common.asp, line 424

Line 424 in common.asp is

adoCon.Execute(strSQL)

I believe it is trying to write to the database. Am I having Permission problems? Is this something I need to discuss with my Host provider?

Thanks in advance for any help you provide

I apologize for not researching first.

I found something in the forums that says I am unable to write to the database and that I need to contact my host provider to get. write permissions to the folder that contains the database.

again I am sorry for adding the post before I did the research.
