inetserver asp db : Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0172 : 80004005'
The problem is, you've used a physical path, and not a virtual one, just as
the message says..... Either remove Server.MapPath(), or change the path to a virtual one..... -- Regards Steven Burn Ur I.T. Mate Group www.it-mate.co.uk Keeping it FREE!

Is the path to the file correct?

I receive an error like this:
Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0172 : 80004005' Invalid Path /conn.asp, line 2 The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used. the conn.asp code : <% cst = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _ Server.MapPath("Z:\AccessDB\access.mdb") set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.open cst %> Do I need to locate the mdb file inside the wwwroot? how about enable web sharing on the Z:\AccessDB, is this required even though I set change permission on IUSR account?
i remove server.mapPath() like this:
<% cst = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Z:\DB\access.mdb;" set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.open cst %> the next error is this: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Could not find file 'Z:\DB\access.mdb'. /cn.asp, line 4 [quoted text, click to view] "Steven Burn" <pvt@noyb.com> wrote in message news:eDRBVSyiEHA.3664@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > The problem is, you've used a physical path, and not a virtual one, just as > the message says..... > > Either remove Server.MapPath(), or change the path to a virtual one..... > -- > > Regards > > Steven Burn > Ur I.T.
