It looks as if Server.Mappath is not norking correctly when trying to pass this in to the connection string.
Try this instead (it worked for me)

Dim sConString, con
sConString = "Data Source=" & Server.Mappath("db/db1.mdb&quot & ";Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
Response.Write sConString
set con = server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection&quot
con.Open sConString
