Thanks for your help in advance.

I successfully set up a simple asp/access site on my development box.

On pages where I query the database, I use constants from "msado15.dll" 
which, on my development box is located at: 
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado15.dll"

I call that file in my asp pages like this:
<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" FILE="C:\Program Files\Common 
Files\System\ado\msado15.dll"-->

Now that I'm trying to host this site with an ISP (winsave.com - do you 
have a better suggestion?) - I am not sure how to call this file...

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Try checking with the ISP to get the location -- they may even use a newer
version. You might be able to upload a copy to your website's main directory
or subdirectory, although I haven't tried that.

Thanks Zee,

I am in the middle of contacting my ISP for that info right now... and I 
thought of uploading the whole file, but I didn't know if .dll's worked 
outside of the directories that they were installed to... I guess I'll 
just do some trial and error investigating...

Thanks!

You can't just upload the .dll - it needs to be "registered"

msado15.dll is always (AFAIK) installed to x:\program files\common
files\system\ado\

only the x:\ changes. Since there are, for all practical purposes only 24
possible values that x: could be (c:, d:, e: etc), you could just try every
value until you get the right one! It's most likely to be c:, d: or e: (not
many people install Windows to drive y:, or drive z:)

Ken, that is an excellent and very logical point - thank you very much... 
in the end, switching ISP's was my fix, as I moved to an ISP that is setup 
like a development machine - so computer halfwits like me have less to ask 
them... :)

Thank you sir!

I used the same file and referenced it like this:

<!-- METADATA TYPE="typelib" 
              FILE="C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado15.dll" -
->

It works fine using the free asp web host www.brinkster.com

Thanks Jeremy - I switched hosts to CrystalTech, and sure enough, it works 
just like you posted...

I guess the initial issue was that my previous host did not offer "demo 
space" on their servers... thats what they told me anyway...

Thanks for the reply!
