asp_databases thread: Establish a Connection using a URL

The problem I'm having is that I can do a database connection using the
pathname but what I need is to use a web server path.
My database is sitting in the fpdb directory and when try to use
"DBQ=URL=fpdb/db1.mdb" I get an error, although if I use the full pathname I
don't get the error.
Suggestions?

Have you set-up a virtual directory on the web server? also remember it's
VIRTUAL instead of FILE in the include directive
<!-- #include virtual="fred/default.asp" -->

Look up your documentation on Server.Mappath()
eg DBQ = Server.Mappath("db1.mdb")
Cheers

I found something else out yesterday and that was server.mappath. Got it
working on the internet but haven't tried it locally yet. Thanks for the
other avenue.
