Your error is here:
sDSN = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("..\db\fsboREplus.mdb") & ";"  

But does not get thrown until you attempt to open the file, ergo line 8.

Does the database file exist and is it at that relative path?

Is the database corrupted or can you open it normally in Access?

IUSR needs read, write AND execute on that file.

OFF TOPIC.  You should have a user id and password set for the file because it is world readable...eg a malicious user could download the database file. Of course thats also weak, so all the data should be encrypted or you should bite the bullet and re-write everything to use SQL server.

You also should be filtering for malicious data here:

strUserName = Request.Form ("txtUserName")
        strPassword = Request.Form("txtPassword")
        strLogin = request("cmdLogin")
        strSubmit = request("cmdSubmit")
        strEmail = request("txtEmail")
        action = request("action")

 

by: b0lsc0ttPosted on 2008-05-23 at 12:15:04ID: 21634972

What version is the Access file?  You might need to update it to be compatible with the newer server.  This is usually just a matter of opening it in the newer version of Access.

Let me know if you have a question or need more info.
