Connection String

[Guest]

I am working on an asp project. During trhe holiday I shut off my workstation
and now the program doesnt connect to the access database. I'm sure the
connection string in the golbal asa file is incorrect and I have two
questions. First one is what is the correct syntax for a connection string,
ie. C:\folder\.... or \folder\ or ?. My second question is how do I prevent
this from happening again? I am only assuming that the reason for this lack
of connection is because I shut down my computer because I worked for a week
on the project, leaving the computer on with no connection problem. Should I
have saved Something? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Adman,

...and now the program doesnt connect to the access database.

Actually, you're not using Access at all. You are connecting to a JET
database.

First one is what is the correct syntax for a connection string,
ie. C:\folder\.... or \folder\ or ?.

Check out Carl Prothman's site for connection strings:

My second question is how do I prevent this from happening again?

Save your work? I dunno.

You may want to post your question in an ASP (or ASP.NET) newsgroup, as it
really has nothing to do with Microsoft Access.

Good Luck,

Tom
