I am working the examples in the Beginning ASP book in chapter 14 page 615 and 619. I am getting this error: "Error Type:
ADODB.Record (0x800A0E7A)
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
/BegASP/CreateBackup.asp, line 15"

I found an old thread in the archives with this error that said to make sure I ws on MDAC 2.5 or greater. I have installed MDAC 2,8 and still get this error. Any ideas anyone?

How about posting your code or at least your connection string (if DSNless).

Sorry, here it is

<%
  Dim objStream, objRecord, strURLofFile, strURLofBackup, strText, strDateStamp
  strURLofFile = Request.Form("URLofFile")
  strURLofBackup = Request.Form("URLofBackup")

  set objRecord = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Record")
  objRecord.Open "", "URL=" & strURLofFile
  objCopyRecord "", strURLofBackup,,, adCopyOverWrite
  objRecord.Close
  Set objRecord = Nothing

Tachtenberg,

Based on the code you posted, I couldn't get to know what you are trying to do there. But this could help you in a way. Please take a look at this.

(HOWTO: Use the ADO Recordset, Record and Stream Objects to Open Documents)

Hope that Helps.
Cheers!

Change

set objRecord = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Record")

to

set objRecord = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

for starters.

The rest I can't tell for sure, but are you trying to copy a record?
