cannot update database

Guest

I built a simple form to add data to an excel database. When I try to use it
I get a very simple "Cannot Update Database" error message. Nothing else.
Just those three words. I followed the steps in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/219974/en-us and it still did not work. I do
have Front Page Extensions installed on my web server. In fact, I have other
..asp pages working just fine on my site. I just can't seem to update add
data to my excel database. Any suggestions.

What is the code you're using to update the database? (Copy and paste
everything from Code View into a reply but remove any user names and
passwords for the database). Also, is the database set to read/write
permissions on the web site? You may have to have your web host check that.

Are you using Excel as in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=268948

PS
You would be better off using Access as your data source

David:

The souce code is attached below. Yes, through the Web Settings in
Frontpage, I've set the parameter for this database to "ReadOnly"=0. In
fact, in the global.asa file, the database is showing as ReadOnly=0. Thanks
for taking the time to review this code:

One quick note, the error message actually reads, "Cannot Update The Database"

For what it's worth...
