I have a test web server that had a staright forward Access database. I've tried pointing to the correct location, but when I run it, I get this error. Does anyone know what the problem is? Please help!


Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x724 Thread 0x684 DBC 0x2019654 Jet'.
/nlweb/index.asp, line 156

Here's the line of code on that line 156:

rsNlusers.ActiveConnection = MM_nlusers_STRING

Thanks in advance
 
What is your database connection string? I get that error when my connection string has an error (e.g. pointing to the wrong place).
 
Here's the connection string:

MM_nlusers_STRING = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=Z:\Nu-Leaf\nl_users.mdb"

I can't tell if I'm posting to the wrong place or not, everything else seems fine.

As for the cross posting ... what difference does it make? I wanted to get a persepective from someone who uses just ASP and from someone who connects using Dreamweaver ... sorry if I offended you.
