I'm trying to connect to a SQL 7 database via an ASP page, but having not luck. I just keep getting this error

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'

ActiveX component can't create object

I've created the System DSN file and it works okay. The code I use to try and make a connection is
<%
Set dbase=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
dbase.Open "WebCts2000"
%>

but it doesn't work any ideas?
