I have attempted to make a datbase connection numerous times, the database appears in my folder fpdb in my web page, I have both a global.asa and my page is saved as an asp format, the database is verified, however I continue to recieve the following message:

server error: Unable to retrieve the list of record sources from a database using the connection string:

DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=URL=fpdb/Newenitre.mdb.

The following error message comes from the database driver software; it may appear in a different language depending on how the driver is configured.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thanks heaps bec
 
Hi,

I know nothing but that you might have misspelled "Newentire.mdb" somewhere as "Newenitre.mdb"

I have recently had the same problem. You need to first check your connection and make sure it is ok. Go to Tools, Websettings, database, and then verify your link. If that is ok, you may need to change the column names. This is what worked for me.
 
Dear Bec:
Just curious: did you check into the spelling of your database name in your string? Gus Brunston 8-: An old PICKer, using Access2000. I manage Suggestions welcome. padregus@attbi.com
