I currents have an access database in my web site at
_private/fpdb/example.mdb. I want to share this data with another web site,
so want to move the database to a server folder, beyond the current web site
root, so both web sites can use it as a data source.
Any help please would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mick
 
Mike, sorry a follow on question. I changed the global.asp as suggested.
The asps are looking for the database in the new location, beyond the root,
and seem to be looking to the correct address as when I go to the database
wizard on an asp page and verify the database it shows the correct string,
although at this stage it cant find it because its beyond the root, I would
have expected the asps when loaded to the server to see the database in the
new location. All I get is "Database Results Wizad Error".
Are there any changes necessary to the asp pages in the database wizard to
seek out the new database location please?
 
Consider using a System DSN or don't use the FP database components.
