Hi,
I need some help here for DSN connection string.
I know it's not recommended to use DSN, even I dont like it as well ...
but for now, my situation is I am using a shared hosting. I do not have
write access to my web root folder, I have a folder specialy for database.
I am currently using access, it is just for testing purpose.
here's the info:
ms access database password : testdb
dsn name : testdb
can anyone tell me what is the connection string ?
thanks,
Tee

You don't need write access to c:\, to use DSN-less connection strings.
To see sample connection strings, try www.connectionstrings.com
eg,
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\dbdir\dbfile.mdb;User
Id=whatever;Password=testdb;"

I know about DNS less connection string ... but now the problem is the
database folder is not inside the wwwroot ...
if I really have to get to that folder, I must use ../db/dbfile.mdb ...
but now another problem comes, I cannot exit the top root by using ../ ...
and if I place the database inside my wwwroot folder, I don't have write
access. I need write data to the database as well.
Thanks,

can you not use string manipulation to build the proper folder name?
or Server.MapPath()
or ..
Your hoster maybe has a FAQ somewhere illustrating how to do this on that
site?

If you are using the 1.1 version of the framework, then in help look up OBDC
Data Sources then Connections. I think this will tell you how to do want
you to do.
If you are using the 1.0 framework, you will have to download the ODBC .Net
Data provider from Microsoft at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...vframework.asp

All you need to do is find out the absolute file path the the .mdb file and
use that. Ask your hosting service if you don't know it.
