Database Connection Problem

[Robert Teasdale]

Hi,

I appear to have lost my Database connections which were working but not
now.

Error Message:
Server error: Unable to connect to a database from the web server using the
connection string 'DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};DBQ=URL=htdocs/_private/fpdb/avianvets.mdb'.

The following error message comes from the database driver software; it may
appear in a different language depending on how the driver is configured.
-------------------------------------------------------
The specified procedure could not be found. (ADODB.Connection)

Source: ADO
Number: -2147024769 (0x8007007f)
----------------------------------------------

Looking back since I last worked on my databases all I can think of that may
have had an impact is MS security updates plus their download.

I have checked Administrative Tools and the ODBC Data Source Administrator
and all the correct Drivers appear to be in place?

Is there anything else I need to checkout or select to correct this problem?

Your help appreciated to a relative FP Newbie.

Thank you

Best Regards
Rob

By default the fpdb folder is in the root of the web or subweb, not under _private.

Usually, folders named "_private" are not accessable from a browser, or at lest my host/site does not allow it. MOve the "fpdb" folder to the root of the web, and then publish it to have the folder moved

have you made any new connections? have you uploaded the global.asa file if it
changed since the last time?

and fpdb is usually not readable through a browser either (depends on ISP I
suppose) but for me that directory is not readable, but asp pages can access the
databases in it.
