Hello, this thing is turning out to be a huge pain.
I usualy use SQL server, so Access is new to me. I need to connect to my MS Access server across a DSNLess connection via ASP.

Here is what I have:
Dim DB, RS, DSNString
Set DB = Server.CreateObject("adodb.connection")
Set RS = Server.CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
DSNString="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & "DBQ=" & server.mappath("MyDatabase.mdb")
DB.Open DSNString

It works if I comment out the last line. then, how do i Run my SQL = "select * from {table}"?

Thanks for your help
 
try it this way.

DSNString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & server.mappath("myDatabase.mdb")

DB.Open DSNString
RS.open SQL, DB

Work for me maybe it will work for you.
 
Remove the curly brackets {} from around the driver.
