access_asp thread: Tables linked to text files in Access DB, No installable ISAM


Message #1 by "Kevin" <yabmod@e...> on Wed, 12 Jun 2002 01:12:25
Hi,

  Having a problem with a linking a text file to a table on my webserver 
which is running IIS 5.0(Win2k) and does not have Access installed.  The 
message when I try to access the table with ASP is   

No installable ISAM found

It works fine on my test server where Access is installed and running IIS 
5.1(WinXP).  Can I solve the problem by installing a newer version of MDAC 
or do I have to install Access on the server?   I don't personally have 
access to the server to check the MDAC version or install Access so I have 
to be directive in what I want done.  The reason I am using text files is 
because they are exported from another application on a daily basis, I 
link the text and then copy the database into a regular Access table to 
make it run faster.  I have not included any script samples because I know 
the script works on my test server.

Thanks,
Kevin
