    HI,
    I'm having a problem hitting my database on the dasp.net server. I have a form (form1.asp) that collects a group of data. There is a second asp page (managedata.asp) that receives the data from form 1. When I execute form1.asp the managedata.asp page displays the following message:

    There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.
    ....(other text)
    HTTP 500 - Internal server error
    I used the ODBC tool to set up my database but I don't know if I used it correctly, since there is almost no documentation on it.
    The form on the ODBC tool setup page seems to indicate that the name should be "mydomainnamehere00_mydatabasename", and the path I should provide to be "\_database\mydatabasename.mdb"
    What do I name the DSN in my asp page in order for the page code to execute properly? mydomainnamehere00_mydatabasename or simply mydatabasename?
    Thanks in advance,

    500 Internal server error is a generic error.

    Make sure you configure your browser to display the true error, see http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10052
