Question

I cant get dns less connection to Ms Access db to work here the code.

In the dbconnection.asp file is this

Dim MM_IMT_STRING
''MM_IMT_STRING = "dsn=EDA;"
MM_IMT_STRING =("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\essel\Connections\EDA.mdb")

and in the default.asp is this

<!--#include file="Connections/dbconnection.asp" -->
Dim CHANNEL
Dim CHANNEL_numRows

Set CHANNEL = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
CHANNEL.ActiveConnection = MM_IMT_STRING

I have been struggling with this issue for days now, if someone know why its not linking up please tell me thanks.

Answer 1

Where is your Connection object created?

I’m missing something like

Set objConnMDB = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
objConnMDB.ConnectionString = MM_IMT_STRING
objConnMDB.Open
CHANNEL.ActiveConnection = objConnMDB
' // do your stuff here '
objConnMDB.Close
Set objConnMDB = Nothing
