database connection ISAM

[Michael W]

Hello,

I'm using "Dreamweaver: The Missing Manual" to attempt to learn how to set up
a dynamic website. Everything was going along just fine as I went through the
tutorial until I got to the Connection String and Test part. At this point,
after I typed in everything just the way the book instructed me to, and hit
"test", I get the error message "Could Not Find Installable ISAM". I have NO
idea what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all assistance

this error usually means that the computer running the application doesn't have the installed database driver.

Hi,
This error will show for missing locations and version conflicts.
Are you using an Access DB for the connection?
If so, post your Access version, the DB file location and the conn string you are currently using.
Then we'll be able to help.
Salute,
Mark

This by the way is a valid conn string for DW:

Dim MM_Conn2_STRING
MM_Conn2_STRING = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" &amp; Server.MapPath("/_database/my.mdb") &amp; ";"</CODE>
