I'm a newbie so sorry if this is simple...

I'm creating a simple online shopping site...

to connect to the database I have the lines

Set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source='store.mdb'"
rs.Open strSQL,cn
rs.MoveFirst

when moved to a sever, the database i want to point to is at http://merlin/project2/store.mdb. I've tried replacing store.mdb with this path but i get the error messge 'C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\http:\\merlin\project2\onlinestore.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
