Ive done an asp site - it all works perfectly on my local machine and also when i upload it to a test area in one of my other sites ive done (hosted by fasthosts) but when i upload it to the clients test area it doesnt work - it displays a page saying page cannot be displayed - like the page isnt there...but it is. This area also has other sites on it with asp working and i cant figure out why this isnt working. Would it have something to do with having a dns less connection as all the others have dns?
Ive checked the connection by using the following bit of code to get the path..
<%LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%=Server.MapPath("YourDatabaseNameHere.mdb;"

And copying and pasting this into my connection, so its not the connection
Its really bugging me!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Some questions/thoughts:
1) Does your client's server support ASP?
2) Turn off "Friendly Error Messages" on your browser and should give you an error message that should help you out.
3) Make sure your DB is in the correct location.
4) Can you setup a DSN? Does it work then?

ensure that you have uploaded the latest global.asa file to the root folder on the server - this contains the parameters for the dns connection using asp pages
