Anders Moen Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")sConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\UserName\db\dbname.mdb") & ";" & _ "Persist Security Info=False"oConn.Open(sConnection)'...oConn.Close You replace Username with your actual user name. Do you have your database in the db folder of your account? It will not work anywhere else.Did you upload an existing database or use their database manager to create a new one? I made one online at them. Look at my code now:<%Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")sConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("c:\sites\content\a\n\d\andersmoen\db\anders.mdb") & ";" & _ // This is my path to the database. "Persist Security Info=False"oConn.Open(sConnection)'...oConn.Close%> Here's the error message I get: Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0172 : 80004005' Invalid Path /a/n/d/andersmoen/index.asp, line 11 The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used.And it says my path is at my control panel: c:\sites\content\a\n\d\andersmoenand with database it'll be c:\sites\content\a\n\d\andersmoen\db\news.mdbI seriously start hating Microsoft for making it so difficult now:PEdit: I created a new topic in ASP so we don't get too off topic here Click here to continue this discussion about connecting to database in ASP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eBBee Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hello everyone,My name is Abdul Karim. I designed and developed NotJustBrowsing for myself and for you.Now that I am here, you can ask me as many questions as you wish about NotJustBrowsing, though I may not be able to answer all of your questions.By the way, NotJustBrowsing is a browser, at least I think so.

PrateekSaxena Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I personally did not like http://notjustbrowsing.com/ the browser maybe great I have not seen it or used it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 the browser and the site look horrible. Explain to me how you making up bunch of (generaly useless) features makes it a 3rd generation browser. What do you mean you think it is a browser???Does the browser pass the Acid2 test? How does your standards compliance compare to Firefox or Opera???I'm sorry for being rude but it is laughable if you think you can get people to use your browser, if that is really what it is!

justsomeguy Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Just out of curiosity, have you had any problems or heard any negative reports distributing software that requires the .NET framework? I've been wondering about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrateekSaxena Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 What is a 3rd generation browser?? If Firefox 3rd gen or is it 2nd or 1st??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 firefox 2 is a 2nd generation browser. His browser is not a 3rd generation, the 3rd generation specs have not even been finished yet (XHTML2, CSS3, ect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrateekSaxena Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 OKay...but some stuff about XHTML 2 and CSS3 has been released...i have some PDF's from W3CDoes second gen include SVG??Is IE7 Second Gen?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 IE7 is 2nd gen, although the least advanced 2nd gen. Yes some XHTML2 and CSS3 has been release but it is not in use and his browser does nto support it, so it cannot be claimed as a 3rd gen browser.I think SVG is part of 2nd gen.

justsomeguy Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 The specs are always open for people to review. The first spec for XHTML2 I believe was published in the summer of 2006. It will go through several different revisions before they decide to call it stable and recommend that browser vendors implement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nim199 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hello,I have been making websites since I was 7, but when I found W3Schools, my life changed! I had no way of learning other WebLanguages before my 11th birthday, but I stumbled over this brilliant Website looking for a tag to genereate moving images. I now know it is still the "Img src" tag.Praise for W3Schools!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dug Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi folks,Thought I'd give a small introduction. My name is Douglas, known to my friends as either Dug or Shuggy. My first degree was in music, but towards the end I thought I'd be happier in computing, so I'm now doing web development.I am knowledgeable in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP, ASP.NET, SQL and Python CGI. Web server wise I'm knowledgeable in Apache 2 and IIS. Also familiar with MySQL databases, including applications like Query Browser and Administrator. I really want to be a website programmer, however it is very hard to get a job without commercial experience, so any advice would be welcome. I've done a short course at Paisley Uni and that covered everything I'm knowledgable in, and I still continue to teach myself. I'd really appreciate any advice about getting in to website programming commercially. Other interests include reading, partying and DJing. Work hard and party hard, that's what I say! Looking forward to getting to know you all.Dug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roondog Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi Dug,I would suggest making a portfolio site for yourself showcasing your skills. Then advertise yourself to get some experience. I'm using Gumtree and have just put up some adverts for free web design to build up my portfolio. Also if you know anyone with a business offer your services. Once you have a decent portfolio of work you should be ok to start applying for proper work.Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a portfolio started of websites I did as part of Uni projects. It's 3 so far, so hopefully I can build on that.Dug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
