Hi I have a small website written in .net that attempts to connect to an access database. I have copied the connection string in the knowledge base and checked it against the connection string on my machine. It appears to be correct. I get an error message when I try and run it on the web that Provider Microsoft ACE OLEDB 12 is not registered on the local machine. I am new to using access. . net for this purpose and hence wonder if there something which is very obvious I have missed. Thanks RB
Solution This proved difficult to solve as there is a huge discussion on this point involving ideas well beyond my understanding on the Internet in MS developer forums. I took my Access database and saved it in an older format 2007 I think and then used the connection string stem "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source Server.mapPath etc This now works fine. So for beginners looking for speedy db solutions I hope this saves you some time. RB
Thanks for posting on how you solved your issue. I'm sure it will help someone else out in the near future.
