Problem accessing Database

[krappleby025]

Hi all, can you help,

I am trying to access a database, from a website, that is situated on the same computer, but not on the website.

i am using an access database, accounting system, which is not allocated on the website, but i have the database on a non website HD.

the database path is f:/accounts/database/krapp2.mdb

the asp coding i am using is
<% Cons1.Open( &quot;DRIVER={Microsoft Access driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=&quot; & server.MapPath(&quot;f:/accounts/database/krapp2.mdb&quot; ) )
%>

the error i am gettin is


Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0172 : 80004005'

Invalid Path

/Cutomerlogin/default.asp, line 22

The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used.


any ideas on what code i should be using,

any ideas will be appreciated.
thanks

drop the server.MapPath, since you have the full physical path already:

<% Cons1.Open( &quot;DRIVER={Microsoft Access driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=f:/accounts/database/krapp2.mdb&quot; )
%>
