Hello Sir, I bought one of your book  "Beginning Visual basic 6

database". It help's me a lot. I was very thankful to have this book. I

was working on chapter 13 now ADO Active server pages and it's all

working fine in my computer. I transfered all my asp pages, MDB, DLL to 

a free domain http://members.truepath/ton_isaac/ton_isaac but it is not

working here.  is it because of my ADODB.connection or some code in ASP?



 I to change the path connection to

"Data Source=http://members.truepath/ton_isaac/ton_isaac/visitors.mdb" 

is this a correct syntax?         



this is my website

http://members.truepath/ton_isaac/ton_isaac/login.asp



Thank you very much and hoping to hear from you.

If visitors.mdb is in your WWW root then



"Data Source=" & Server.Mappath("/visitors.mdb")



If it is in another directory underneath the web root add the path as

appropriate
