  1. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Here is my connection string:

    "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DataSource=E:\web\wartburgru2\htdocs\david\database\MyDatabase.mdb"

    Thanks
     
  2. I am trying to connect to an Access database through Dreamweaver with a custom connection string. I am able to connect to this same database in Dreamweaver on another server. However when I try to connect to the database on this server I get a message that reads:

    "Could not find installable ISAM"

    It would be much appreciated if anyone has an idea why it works on one server and not this one. Thanks.
     
  3. NonProgrammer,

    I will be a lot easier for us if you post your connectionstring here. Otherwise it is difficult to guess what 's going wrong.

  4. this time I'm a bit slower [:I]

    Are you sure your directory is with 'database' and not '_database' ?

    For the rest, this connectionstring seems to be allright. Maybe anyone else has another suggestion ?

  5. Problem Resolved.

    In my connection string I failed to put a space between the words "Data" and "Source". Apparently this mistake produces the "Unable to find installable ISAM" error message.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Could not find installable ISAM usually means the system does not have the driver installed. I can assure you that oleDB for access is installed.

    Check out this link for more details on connection string.
