been working on my server all day, but it doesnt work.

the error message I get is:
<font color=red>
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified. </font id=red>

I´m using a DSNless connection string, which is:

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=e:\...\_private\promoter.mdb"

My problem is, two other projects run on the same server with the same connection string. Please help me, if you got any ideas, I´m completely confused and frustrated. Thanks in advance,

Claudio

Did you have checked the Knowlegde Base of Microsoft and Macromedia's devnet center?

Copy 'n paste the error in Google will also result in a big'(solution) list.

You could try this

"provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0; data source=" & Server.MapPath ("path to your DB/promoter.mdb"

or this if the private folder is outsite of the htdocs folder

"provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0; data source=" & Server.MapPath("/../private/promoter.mdb"

If it doesn't solve your problem it will help if your host changes their server config
