Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0172 : 80004005'

[A P]

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?

[Steven Burn]

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.....

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'.

Is the path to the file correct?

If so, take a look at;
