When you need to open access to an Access database from your ASP website, you must use an ADO database connection.
It can be set up as follows:
<%
dim conn
function OpenConn( DBPath )
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & DBPath
end function
OpenConn("d:\web\localuser\[domain]\database\database.mdb")
%>
If you use JavaScript as the default language in ASP, the following connection string can be used:
<%
Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection");
Conn.Open("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("database.mdb"))
%>
