How does your connection string look? Are you using a DSN?

And does your provider have any documentation about using an Access database? Quite often, the ISP provides information about how to use a database in your ASP pages, including sample code for the connection string.

I will chat with my provider tomorrow about it. I am using a DNS-less connection string. "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\timberdb1.mdb"

Instead of this outdated ODBC driver, you're better off using an OleDb connection. Look here for some examples:

http://www.connectionstrings.com/

then expand Access and then OleDb.

Also, instead of hard coding your path, use Server.MapPath. Your local site may have a folder called C:\Inetpub, but your ISP may not. Your site could be located on D;\users\malhyp\WhatEver\SomeFolder\ for example.

Using MapPath, you can dynamically build up the path to the database:

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/Databases/db1.mdb") & ";"

This returns the full path for your database called db1.mdb located in the Databases folder in the root of your site.....
