I followed the instructions to move the database. I moved it to the FPDB folder where I have 3 other data bases that my website uses. I changed both of the common.asp files to read "fpdb/wwforum.mdb".

When I try to browse to the forum, I get the following error.

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

'E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wwcols-staff.com\www\web_wiz_forums\foru m\fpdb\wwForum.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

/web_wiz_forums/forum/common.asp, line 250

What have I done wrong?

Thanks

the space in the word forum (\foru m\) is intended to be there?

'E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wwcols-staff.com\www\web_wiz_forums\foru m\fpdb\wwForum.mdb'

That space is caused by the forum itself. Retype it without the space between forum and you will get the same result after posting.

I just noticed that space. It was not there when I got the message. I copied and pasted the message to my post, and somehow the space got in there. But, when I look at the error message now, its not there.
