Arguments are of the wrong type...connecting to Access DB

[thecubemonkey]

Hi everyone,

I'm getting the following error:

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bb9'
Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are
in conflict with one another.
/newsite/faq.asp, line 57

Can you look at the code below and let me know if the problem is my
code or if there is a server setting that needs adjustment. Thanks.

I am using a global.asa file with:
SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server">

Sub Application_OnStart()

Dim strConn
strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\Departments
\MBA_UBALT\newsite\faq.mdb"
Application("strConn") = strConn

End Sub

</SCRIPT>

The ASP page code is:

<%
Dim rsFAQ
Set rsFAQ = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

rsFAQ.Open "FAQ", Application("strConn"), adOpenKeyset,
adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
Do While Not rsFAQ.EOF
Response.Write "<li><b>" & rsFAQ("Question") & "</b>"
Response.Write "<p>" & rsFAQ("Answer") & "</p></li>"
rsFAQ.MoveNext
Loop
If rsFAQ.BOF Then
Response.Write "<p>No FAQs in the database!</p>" & vbNewLine
End If

rsFAQ.Close
%>

rsFAQ.Open "FAQ", Application("strConn"), adOpenKeyset,
adLockReadOnly, adCmdText

This error is typically due to the failure to define those ado constants.
See:

That said, I have to say there is rarely a need to use other than the
default, server-side forward-only cursor type. This statement could be
changed to (assuming FAQ is a table in your database):

dim cn, rs
set cn = createobject("adodb.connection")
cn.open Application("strConn")
set rs = cn.Execute("select * from FAQ',,1)
