Please help with Annoying error
Hi everyone,
I have a basic FORM with a text field called username. I am trying to submit the name to my database but get the same irritating error message every time. What am I doing wrong? This is becoming real frustrating.
I will appreciate help so much
Regards

[u]The error: </u>
Error Type:
ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0E7D)
The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context.
/Formprocess.asp, line 15
Here is my code:

Hi there,
You reuse the connection string variable for the actual connection object:
Code:
strConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Database\admin.mdb"
Set strConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
You overwrite strConnection with a connection object which then doesn't know anything about the connection string anymore. Try this instead:
Code:
Dim objConnection, objRS, strConnection, strusername
strusername = Request.Form("username")
strConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Database\admin.mdb"
Set objConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConnection.Open strConnection
...
objRS.Open "users", objConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
Hope this helps,
Imar

Hi Imar,
I feel stupid about the error with the connection object  , but now it gives me the following error...
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Database\admin.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
/formprocess.asp, line 14
My database is not open and it is not READ ONLY.
I will appreciate help once again so much
Regards
