UNC Path ??? This should be easy but...

[tcullen]

I'm building my first Web site in which I have created 2 ASP pages.

1. This allows people to register items for sale
2. This enables people to search the Access DB in which they are stored.

In order to administer this i have created Data access page in the database in access. I have published the all pages & the DB.

The register & search features work fine and the data is added to the DB, but the admin page won't connect to the published DB to enable me to administer it.

I think it may have something to do with the UNC Address. However i can't seem to find the Server name etc

I'm building the site in Frontpage and created the DB via Frontpage as i'm still fairly new to this. Hopefully this is clear enough for someone to point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Terry

What path are you using to connect to the DB.

If you are connecting to a non-local DB, then this can cause a lot of security issues. Put it locally and specify the path as "C:\testdatabase.mdb" or similar.

It is possible to connect to a db on a machine other than the web server, but you have to get your permissions just right.
