I am getting the ASP 0177 (0x800401F3) error when attempting
to do a simple server create object statement for a connection.
Says invalid class string. From what I read others get this error
for other object creations. The just of the responses seems to be
to check file permissions and register the dll. What dll needs
registered for a ADODB.connection object? I think my permissions
are ok on the folder.

Can you post your code here?

   generally u need msado15.dll

u can use this statement to create connection object

set conn=server.createobject("ADODB.connection")
set rs=server.createobject("ADODB.recordset")

to use all constants, you include the dll to this page using METADATA

I found the code worked under Windows 98 with personal web server.
There must be something wrong with XP pro.
The line it bombs on follows:
set db=server.createobject("ADODB.connection")

If I comment that line out it bombs on:
set rs=server.createobject("ADODB.recordset")

Yes, it looks like your msado15.dll is not properly installed and registered on your webserver.

Use this in your page and see if that fixes the problem.


C:\Program Files\CommonFiles\System\ado\msado15.dll - This is where this dll is supposed to be, but if you have insallted all your program files in other drive then better confirm the path in your system and use the same.

If you still face the error, you will have to download MDAC 2.8 and install on your server, that could fix the problem.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!

MDAC fixed the error. Thanks.

Another solution is to find the dll file and place it somewhere in your webpage - that way you know exactly where it is, and then use the full physical path to that file.
