Hi there,
Trying to connect to an MS Access database using classic ASP and i can't seem to produce any results
, i'm going by the book and it just doesn't want to work...
All the names for the database and DSN connection seem to spelt correctly, there must be something to do with the ASP syntax that i'm missing :confusing:
Thanks for any help
Error Message
DatabaseConnect.asp
index.asp

... i'm using MS Access 97 if that helps, not sure how compatible it is as its the old database format.
