I have created a process on my development environment using iis 5.0, ADO 2.5 or 2.6. and Interdev 6.0.

The process works fine on my configuation. So I published to a hosting company. When I execute my pages I get the following error.

ADO.Connection Error '800a037a'
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.

Does anybody know what this error is. I realize it is an ADO connection problem but is it because the provider isn't set up right.
 
Have you checked with the hosting company to be sure they support the type of database you're using?
Are you using DSN-less connections? <insert witticism here>

I am using a connect string and a virtual/to physical mapping of the database as a connect string. This process does work. I am using access97 and the 3.51 driver for access97.

I just don't understan the error

Thanks for answering

Hrm, I imagine part of your connection string would be

driver=Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb);

(from memory)? <insert witticism here>

If you posted some code (your connection string), that would more effectively equip the members of this forum in helping to understand/diagnose/solve your problem.
