This is my code:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Base de Dados</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white" text="#000000">

<%
Dim adoCon
Dim rsGuestbook
Dim strSQL
Dim dbPath

Set adoCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
adoCon.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Acccess Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("guestbook.mdb")
Set rsGuestbook = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL = "SELECT tblComments.Name, tblComments.Comments FROM tblComments;"
rsGuestbook.Open strSQL, adoCon
Do While not rsGuestbook.EOF
	response.write ("<br>")
	response.write (rsGuestbook("Name"))
	response.write ("<br>")
	response.write (rsGuestBook("Comments"))
	response.write ("<br>")
	rsGuestbook.MoveNext
Loop
rsGuestbook.Close
Set rsGuestbook = Nothing
Set adoCon = Nothing
%>

</body>
</html>

The error message that appears is:

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/GuestBook/guestbook.asp, line 17


Any ideia? I've been trying to discover by myself but this is all new to me...

which line is 17 ? my guess is either :
rsGuestbook.Open strSQL, adoCon
or
adoCon.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Acccess Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("guestbook.mdb")

but without knowming more i dunno what to tell you, other than i think you need a adlocktype on the recordset.open

Sorry... :P

This is line 17:
adoCon.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Acccess Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("guestbook.mdb")

Like i told you before i'm a newbie... what is that stuff of adlocktype?

the error message means exactly what it says, it didn't find a database of that name in the website root folder.

So the file must be at c:\inetpub\wwroot\? It can't be place in other folder inside inetpub\wwroot?
Is this what you mean?

It can be in any folder in the website, provided you supply the correct path to server.mappath

The error isn't the one you said it. [3eyes]

The error was this:

adoCon.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft AcCcess Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("guestbook.mdb").

An extra letter... it wasn't what you have written... absolutely!
