Hi - I'm just getting started with WWiz - please bear with me as I try to get things working. First, I changed the two common.asp files to use a DSN and I changed the location of the wwforum.mdb to /fpdb/wwforum.mdb (you guessed it - I'm using FP 2003) I put a link to default.asp on a new page on my site.. I get the error message Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified /forum/common.asp, line 249 I didn't change anything on that line. You can try yourself at http://www.jurassicpork.com/forum/default.asp - http://www.jurassicpork.com/forum/default.asp thanks in advance, dan

Did you setup the DSN on the server itself? It is not enough to specify a DSN if you use it, you also need to create a preferrably Machine DSN on the webserver computer. You might want to try not using DSN as it may prove better performance. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

In test I've done the forum certainly performs allot faster using the
DSN-less connection it comes with and with much less problems.
