Access 2007 database connection

G

Guest

I am attempting to upgrade my web databases to access 2007. I am using
Frontpage 2002 and have created the new database connections. I can manually
code database connections to Access 2007 but any pages that use the web bots
are now failing with a generic Database results error - the operation failed.
Help.

The DBRW do not support the new Access 2007 formats / filenames
- convert your DB back to 2003 or 2000

Then you need to stop using the FrontPage DBRW and use regular ASP (or
ASP.NET) code - hand written. There are a number of sites about ASP to get
you started. For example http://www.asp101.com/samples/

You can find connection strings for Access here

The choice isn't really yours if you want to continue to use FP's DB stuff.
