Microsoft Access DSNLess connection error, works fine in .ASP page, not in aspx code.

Trying this code in the Page_Load of a C# web page...

private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
string connstr = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data
Source=c:\\MyAc cessDb.mdb;";
OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection( connstr);
conn.Open();
...

Throws this error
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found
and no default driver specified

But the same connection string works fine in a regular ol' ASP page, any
ideas?

Thanks!

Derrick

The connection string is fine. It's the rest of your code that is the
problem. Try using the .Net OleDb classes instead.
