On page 350-351, a connection to the dtb is established via DSN.



"Set objConn = Server......





Now I have been trying to make this connection DSN-LESS for almost two 

days.



I know the path to my dtb.



Apparently, I do not know how to do this, and therefore I am asking you 

whom

ever you are, if you would be so kind to give me the solution.



If you should like to explain what you have done too, I would be truely

greatfull.

The easies way to do this is to create the script using a file DSN.

(instead of a system dsn)

When you get it to work that way you go to the microsoft common folder

that contains the file dsn. Open it, Copy the contents and past them over

your DSN script in the code. DSN does't really do much beside provide

a central location to store the connection details of a datasource.

Another way is if you have a copy of VB, create a connection in a

dataenvironment.  You can the copy the connectstring from there into 

the

adoConnection's connect string.

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

objConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\db1.mdb;User

ID=Admin;Password=;"



(all that to go on one line, there is a space between "User" and "ID" and

the above would work for an Access database which was called db1.mdb located

on c:\ - amend for your database location)

Hi there Ken

you could always try this method out...



  Set objConn= server.createobject("adodb.connection")

  DSN="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};UserID=Admin;Password=;

DBQ=" & server.mappath("db1.mdb")

  objConn.Open DSN



Ken
