Hi Sanjeev



Well I am creating connection object like this.

set cn=server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")

cn.open  "DSN=mydsn;UID=sa;PWD=xxx"

set rs=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")



I think that there is some problem in my IIS settings

because the same thing was working perfectly all right

when I was using Access but when I switched to sql

server this is not working after that I again switched

back to Acces and I found that its not working,plus

whenever I copy some files into my virtual directory.

Microsoft save result component is automatically comes

in between that page.

is it related to frontpage server extentions or to my

IIS settings.

Please help

Thanx

Bye

Arshad

This is how I connect to SQL Server and it works fine...



set cn=server.createobject("adodb.connection")

cn.open "DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=BDFINTRA;UID=sa;APP=Microsoft Open

Database Connectivity;WSID=SNRM_48001F5M;DATABASE=yourdatabase;User

Id=sa;PASSWORD=;"

Hi Arshad,



which version of ODBC u r using?

have you created  'mydsn' in odbc on iis server to connect?

To access Access, you may have used  JET/OLEDB as provider

Here you are connecting through odbc as dsn

Hi Sanjeev

Thanx for such aprompt response.I cant get you what do you mean by ODBC 

version.

Well I think that its not able to create the object this means that it is 

the server error.please tell me if you are connecting to the database 

through dsn then is it necessary to have your database in your virtual

directory or it can be anywhere.

I checked it by making the dsn less connection but then also same error is 

coming. 

Thanx

Bye

Hi ...,



When you connect through dsn, database can be anywhere but should be able to

connect through ODBC Administartor on database server.

If it is working with MS Access and not SQL then definitely, you are not

using right connection string or DSN. So

1. first check , in odbc admin: Test to connect database is succssful or

not.

2. check the connection string.



Thanks

Sanjeev Gandhi
