I am running windows xp sp2, Office 2003. I have down loaded all updates
for windows and office, made sure the folders are not read only. made sure
the database is 2002-2003, went to %systemroot%:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\Ole db and typed regsvr32 sqloledb.dll.

I do not know what else to do, and I am trying to get a web site done. Also
I am using frontpage 2003, why is it my .asp files do not run in any other
browser. When creating a web site I test the most important browsers. In
this case it wants to open or save the file.

Thank you
Dee

Without knowing what line 35 in updateCalendar_script.asp is, it's pretty
hard to suggest anything.

Does the application work otherwise? Are you able to apply any updates to
the database? If not, does the security context running the ASP page
(usually IUSR_<machinename>) have the necessary permissions (RWXD) on the
folder where the MDB file is located?

Hi Dee

Just a thought. If you are using the Access DB to hold info in your
frontpage it will become non-updateable (not sure if that is a real english
word ??). This may happen if you are using the folder (in frontpage) to hold
information in a fold that is using the secutiry server extentions unlinked.
(The same as when you hold usernames and passwords) Just a thought.

Another thing have you tried cutting the d base then paste with another name
(use windows explorer)

Oh and you may want to check this site for info

http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/faq/access_database_faq.asp

This is what is in the calendar_script.asp string with line 35

objConn.Execute(strSQL)
Set objRS = Nothing
objConn.Close
Set objConn = Nothing

I do not know how to check IUSR_<machinename. The directory, folders,
etc., I took the read only off. How do you set that for RWXD. I know how to
do this lin Unix and Linux, but not in windows.

Thanks
Dee

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

I suspect strSQL is an Action query (INSERT INTO, UPDATE or DELETE) and that
your database isn't updatable because of the permissions issue.

Are you the administrator of the server where the ASP is running? If not,
ask the administrator to check the permission for you. Otherwise, select the
folder in Windows Explorer, right-click and select Properties, then look on
the Security tab.

 

[Guest]

Yes, I am the administrator. I am building a web site on my local machine.
I have access and sql logging in with the windows administrator.

why would it make a difference if I was running this in front page, this is
how I am designing the web site.

Thank you
Dee

 

[Guest]

Yes, I am the administrator. I am building a web site on my computer using
frontpage 2003. Does that have anything to do with it. I am using the
windows admin userid and password.

Thanks
Dee

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

Did you try what I suggested?

 

[Guest]

I went to permissions and on the folder and I do not have a security tab. I
have general, quick find, sharing, web sharing and customize. I fixed it to
for web sharing and still get the same error.

Thanks

Hi Dee

Douglas has given you a few ideas - have you tried them. Also look at the
site and see if any of the items refer to your DB.
http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/faq/access_database_faq.asp

why would it make a difference if I was running this in front page, this is
how I am designing the web site.

If you are designing a DB to use in a frontpage web you should seign the DB
"then" include it into the web. You may find it difficult to get into the DB
from Frontpage as you need to be running access to get into an Access DB with
the corect permissions.

 

[Guest]

I have done what Douglas has stated, but I do not have a security tab when I
click on the
properties tab. I am also reading from the link you sent me. How do I get
this to run outside of front page, it needs to be in the inetpub directory.
when I try to run this in netscape it want to open the .asp file or save it.

Thanks
Dee

Thats not the way access db's work in frontpage.

Create your db
Create your web
Create a subweb
Load the FP server extentions
Import the access db into the web
Create the page that will access the db in frontpage
Select the imported db as the source.

You will not be able to get into the db from frontpage. You need to run
Access to open the DB.


Oh. There is a great deal of info regarding this subject on the knowldge
base in the MS website. I have only created 2 websites that use access (I
use them to store the usernames and passwords) but I am not really that good
with frontpage so I did what most people do and that is to simply follow the
MS site knowdgebase articales word for word.

Good luck with your project.

Hope this helps - saturday night - off out - taxi is booked for 5 mins.

Oh just re-read your post - if you don't have the security tab as Douglas
suggested - you don't have the frontpage sever extentions or your ISP is
running a linux system. In this case you have a BIG problem. Sorry.

Linux systems will not support access db security tabs and they dont has the
correct extentions.

Contact your ISP for more info.

Just read your note. I am running IIS on Windows XP SP2. FrontPage 2003 and
Access 2003. When I installed IIS, I asked for the front page extensions. I
am fairly new to access. If you could please point me to the web site that
tell you how to set up front page extentions and also the one that tells you
how to create the database. I am not trying to get into the database from
front page, the scripts are in front page and the database created in access.
The need to update the database which I am doing from IE.

Thanks
Dee
