The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Format of the initialization string does not conform to the OLE DB specification.

Asked by coreybryant in Active Server Pages (ASP), Microsoft Access Database

I am trying to add an ad script to my website.  I had a previous version and it was very easy to install and get to work.  However this time is very difficult.

I was able to get through part of the set-up the first time, but then I was not able to sign in (I would get an error re: invalid username / password).  I copied the MS Access db and opened that one to confirm the information.  

Since I had made a few changes, I decided to start fresh and place the files in the folders that they were in when unzipped (I did have the MSAccess db in a folder off from the Internet).  So this time, I just uploaded the DB into the original folder and re-started.

I would get some new errors this time - i.e. on line 17, it told me the @ sign was invalid.  Then it said one of the periods was incorrect in the Mail_RemoteHost.  It also required a SMTPUsername and SMTPPassword (I just entered something in there).

Now this code is supposed to write the correct connection string as well - it gave me:
"DBQ=c:\clients\C10489\mymerchantaccountblog.com\public_html\data\banner.mdb;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}"

But when I said to save connection string - this error came up:
Database connection error

Format of the initialization string does not conform to the OLE DB specification.  

Any ideas on what I can change / fix?
