Hard to tell where the error is. It is obvious that there is something wrong
with connstr.
Try with
Dim connstr="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data
source="&server.mappath("database/it.mdb")&""

Try to store this string in a web.config file, and use it from there, using
ConfigSettings.AppSettings.

Please note that you have declared a variable within tags of the
Connection.aspx file, which becomes a private variable, hence you cannot
use it. In any case though, this is a bad practice, and yuou should go for
the web.config file.
