Unable to view ASP pages on disk-based web

Hi,

Im having a real problem in viewing my ASP pages (created with Dreamweaver UltraDev 4) on my Disk-Based web server (IIS 5/Windows 2000SP2). They view fine when they are transfered to my normal web server (which is also IIS5/Win2000).

I am using a DSN-less connection, and Ive mapped my directory so the physical location of the database etc appears to be identical in both circumstances.

However when trying to view the web on my hard disk, I get a HTTP 500.100 error, saying :
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x650 Thread 0x724 DBC 0x13c2144 Jet'.
/guestbook_view.asp, line 5"

This happens with ALL the ASP pages I try to view, with different DB connections. Line 5, on each page is simply:
"rsMapsByNumber.ActiveConnection = MM_maps_STRING" or simliar... depending on the database name.

The DSN connection string, via MM DreamweaverUltraDev is:
MM_maps_STRING = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=e:\domains\alpha-fleet.co.uk\user\htdocs\db\maps.mdb"

I admit that I am at a loss as to why this happening... is it something to with the web being disk-based? or does IIS5 need a extra tool to make ASP work? or maybe its something to do with the mapped drive (using the subst command)?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, David
 
OK... well after writing all this down, I actually found he answer in a previous thread!

Oh well, that'll teach me for not looking before I leap! :)

Thanks anyway! David.
