With ODBC
- Open ODBC data source administrator, which is within control panel->administrative tools on win2k, or c:\winnt\system32

Without ODBC
- Use server.mappath, or a physical string

Like this.

PHP Code:


		
			
 dim path

dim provider



path = "C:\blah\blah.mdb"

'path = "" & Server.MapPath("../database.mdb") & ""

provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEdb.4.0"



dim objConn

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

objConn.provider = provider

objConn.ConnectionString = path

objConn.Open

etc etc.....

pretty simple stuff.
