I am using your application example in "Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0" 

and am trying to submit data in register.asp to the database 

classified.mdb.  I get the error "cannot load Type library specified in 

the METADATA tag".  I assume this is because I am using a Windows NT 4.0 

workstation with the Personal Web Server.  The connection calls for 

Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 library.  Can I use other coding/library that will 

connect to the database.  Or do I need to download this file to the 

server.  I would prefer to use something else if I can.



I appreciate any help you can give me on this.  

What is the code that you are using to load the type library?

(Please post that).



If it contains a UUID, then it may be that the MDAC you have installed is

not the same as the one the book is using. You need to look up the correct

UUID for your machine in the registry.



If you are using a file path to specify the type library (eg see

www.adopenstatic.com/faq/800a0bb9step2.asp ) then perhaps the path needs to

be changed to reflect the setup of your computer.



Cheers

Ken

Hello!

      Thanks for asking me to get help about it. I have used Windows 2000 

Professional edition & NT4.0 last year, it was best with it's Personal Web 

Manager and along with IIS 5.0. But i also had same problem as with you, nto 

only this i had to recieve also a eeror message about my "mdb driver" that 

told me that my mdb specific driver was not installed. I had tried my best 

to call it at it's appropriate point but failed. In the result i had 

unistalled my window 2000 Professional edition and return to Window 98.

And now the same problem with you, then if only want to do on the Windows 

2000 then you have to installed the windows 2000 Personal edition which will 

work for you in it's right way with PWS & IIS.

Remember that PWS & IIS only come with the Windows 2000 Professional edition 

not with others.

Also you can try by downloading by file to the server as you are using 

Window NT 4.0. Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 library was also missing in such 

conditions under NT4.0 and Windows 2000.

If it is working now then congratulation and if not then you have to return 

to previous operating systems.

Thanks



From,

Jibran Rafique
