Unable to establish connection to database.

Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)

I am learning "CodeCharge" and do not have a clue what I am doing in it yet.
But the problem that you are having is:
Is your database in a folder within the same directory of your pages??
If it is, then you need to edit the page that contains the directory for the
database
and make it look like so:
either of the 2 will work............
MyDatabase-Folder/mydatabase.mdb
or
.../mydatabase.mdb (<-- notice that there are 2 periods before the forward
slash.
This should get rid of your error. As that some scripts (and server
configurations)
do not except (or) like the full directory path's like you have here.
So just try the above and everything should go to working, without anymore
issues with
the directory paths for your database.
p.s.
Do you know of a good place to learn how to use this software,
I bought the standard edition, and cannot find a tutorial on it, no where.
Thank you, and I have that the information that I have given to you
will help in your database issue.

Hello,
You must select an option other than "Same as Design" for the connection
string type. If your database is in the same folder as the rest of your
pages then you may select 'Create Automatically' and, given that your db is
already there, make sure the 'Copy the Database' option remains unchecked.
If your DB resides in any other folder, then you must select 'Custom' as the
connection string type. Then type in the server's connection string textbox
the following line
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" &
Server.MapPath("dbfolder/dbname.mdb") & "
where dbname.mdb is the name of your database on the server and dbfolder is
the folder where that database is located.
....and nope, it's not a typo. The line must contain & " at the end.
One more thing. The folder where the database resides must be writtable by
IUSER_machinename. There are tricks to do this if you're using frontpage,
but you must ask your hosting admins to apply proper permissions to the
folder otherwise.
Regards,
Sixto
