Default Access Database Connection Problems

My company just switched to a new host and I am having a real problem connecting to an Access Database. The site administrator says that Windows 2003 no longer allows DSN-less connections, so they created a DSN to the database. I now need to use DSN syntax instead. I have tried (and tried!) a lot of different codes from other web sites but nothing works.

Here is the old code:

Set MyConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
  connStr="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
                 "Data Source=C:\datastores\PlanetHealth.mdb"

Can someone give me a pointer on what the new code should be?

Thanks

Hi,

If you already have a DSN then you only need to call the DSN name to open a db connection:

  Set MyConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
  MyConn.Open "DSN = dsn_name"

Cheers!
