Gday to all. Can anyone help with the following?I have been trying to creata a connection string and have had a few probles. I have uploaded my database to the ISP and now trying to create a DSN-Less connection string.
I belevie that to do this I must reate a MapPath to find out where my database sits.
The code I created was this.
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= " & Server.MapPath ("Database"

The responce I received was this.
Could not find the file \\samba\clientweb\t\i\tamseek.com.au\\www\_mmServerScripts\Databasedb1.mdb'.
Can anyone suggest what I have done wrong or what I have missed.
Thanks.
Mal.
