Unable to open registry key

1 New Member
Please help. I am programming illiterate and am now stuck in an argument between a programmer and my ISP

I have questionnaire operating through ASP and Access. I changed IPS and since then I have been unable to acces the questionnaire. This tells me it is the ISP but they say they use a later version of Windows than the previous ISP.

When I try access the questionnaire the system says:
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key

The ISP staff says I have a programming error which my programmer - he has since dissapeared - says is nonsense and he says it is linked to permissions at the ISP.

So far I have found that the error is linked to the last part (open DSN) of the follwing statements.
DSN = "Driver={Micros oft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath( "/Database/db.mdb")

Set DBC = Server.CreateOb ject("ADODB.Con nection")
DBC.Open DSN

Can you help me. is it something small I can change, do I fire my ISP or must I get someone to re-program (short of funds) thus learn ASP?

It is definitely ISP problem. I had the same problem last time I changed hosts. Mine was in sql server, though, I had to go in and change permissions for the folder in which the db was, and also had to add a user to the db user list. I'm not sure I could walk through that, it took me several steps and I'm not sure what worked, but I definitely had to
1- give i_user permission to modify the db folder
2- give anonymous user permission to modify the file.
