I don't think the problem is with your connection string. I think the

problem is that Ultradev is trying to create a folder on the remote

machine - something you do not have permission to do. The error is a HTTP

error, not an ADODB error (which you'd normally get if there was a problem

with the ASP page connecting to the database)
