but why?

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0175 : 80004005'

 /cgi-bin/forum701/common.asp, line 175

The characters are not allowed in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

 

For the information: common.asp, line 175

strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("../../dat/wwForum.mdb")  'This is the path of the database from this files location on the server

Thank for the help

This means that the web server you are using is setup not to allow perent path (ie. ../) is not allowed on the web server you are using.

Either get your web hosts to change the security settings for your site to allow parent paths or you will have to get rid of the MapPath method and use the physical server file path to the database.
