ASP Registry Key Issue

[Chinyere]

Hi All,

While transferring files over to a new server, I received the following error message:

____
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x690 Thread 0x28c DBC 0x1254014 Jet'.

/lists/listing.asp, line 51
____

This is very curious because this never happened on the old server.

Line 51 reads as follows:

the_newsDB.Open "DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("thenews.mdb") & ";Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DriverId=25;MaxBufferSize=8192;Threads=20;"

We are using an Access 97 database. Does anyone have any ideas ASAP? Thanks.

DO NOT use ODBC anymore. Use the native OLEDB provider:

Also, that's a typical error when it can't find the Access database in the spot you specified.
