I have designed a deamweaver shopping cart locally on my server running XP Pro and Access XP and works fine connecting to my local database, however cannot connect to DSP'sDB at _\database\educoncert.mdb. When I try using remote server custom string. "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath[\_database\educoncert.mdb]". Says it's to long I tried a simple connection string and it connects but it stops working when I add a form element. <% Dim cnnSimple ' ADO connection Dim rstSimple ' ADO recordset Set cnnSimple = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") ' DSNLess cnnSimple.Open ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\_database\educoncert.mdb")) Set rstSimple = cnnSimple.Execute("SELECT * FROM customers") %> I just want to use the files from my local work on there sever and help appreciatd. is there a workaround or connection string for remote that I can use.
