After I�ve uploaded the forum files and followed the instructions to install I get the error message : "

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Unrecognized database format 'd:\usr\www\twingeddk\admin\database\wwForum.mdb'.

/common.asp, line 260 "

What does this mean . I�ve talked to my host and they say that the server has ASP, but they don�t support MySQL - can this be problem ?

have you converted the database to access 97?

if not, tell your host to update the database drivers

no.. but if you had converted it, that could have been the problem..

but if you havnt done that, tell your host to update the database driver..

they should be version 2.6 or later
