1 ASP page implementation in production server.Should I need to create project or tell me procedures

You shouldn't have to create an interdev project at all. The main thing is just to get the path.

I would try this:

<%
strPath = Request.ServerVariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH")  & "Meters.mdb"
response.write strPath
response.end
%>

Alternatively, you could just try this:

strPath  = Server.MapPath("Meters.mdb")
response.write strPath
response.end

Helloo

Yes you can use a network path to store your mdb file provided that folder has read write access to the IUSER windows user..

Set objCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="u:\MeterCheck\Meter.mdb"

Neeraj,
If I use your statement for obj connection.
I am getting Expected end of statement error.
objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="u:\Phonebk\Meter.mdb"
Please let me know, What we are missing here.
Please help me...
It is very urget for me.
Thanks
Mike

It worked with U:Drive connecting.
No problem

Should I have to create a project to load the asp form in users machine

How will I implement the asp page

Oh, you don't load it on the user's machine, but rather on a server running IIS, or at the very least, a computer running PWS.

Fritz the Blank

So server has to have the rights to connect to particular folder to read, insert to database.
How that works, can you explain please ...
My local machine is working, How will I implement in production server.

Once you move the project to the production server, you will need to set up IIS to host your new page (site). The user will then type the address into the address bar, the server will serve up the page, and all should be well.

In order for things to work on the server, the IUSR account must have READ/WRITE access to the folder that houses the database.

Fritz,\Please help me ,
Now I asked Administrator to give access to development server IUSR_MALAMUTE, Admin gave access to MALMUTE server.
And I am still getting message
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
'U:\Meter Track\Meter.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
/MeterTracking/Metertracking.asp, line 331

I tried in local with my user Id access, it worked fine,
Does this account has to be in active directory to give access to Network drive.

Please email me with suggestions
THanksMike

I am not sure what is going on here exactly.

What is the directory that your pages are in?
Where is the database?

Fritz the Blank

This is the code, i have to to insert the values entered by user to Network U:drive
Local is working fine. In development Not, Does development has to have Access installed or it should have active directory to connect to U:drive(Network drive). Admin gave rights to development server to access to networjk drive. itr does not work.

please help me how to resolve this matter.

The database is located in Network drive, so the datasource is
Set objCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=U:\Meter Track\Meter.mdb"

Localhost connecting to U:drive in my machine is working fine.
Admin also gave rights to development server to access to U:drive\Meter Track
Then also, i am getting message
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
'U:\Meter Track\Meter.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
/MeterTracking/MeterTracking.asp, line 331

This is because, It cannot work on this folder with no active directory setup for server account or anything else?
Please help me
Mike

Okay, so the problem is here, is it?

objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="u:\Phonebk\Meter.mdb"

You might try this:


objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="\\Phonebk\Meter.mdb"


Fritz the Blank

A few references that you and your server admin might need:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q207/6/71.ASP&NoWebContent=1

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q184566

Fritz the Blank

I tried with this path Fritz
objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="\\Phonebk\Meter.mdb"

I am getting Not a valid file name
Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
Not a valid file name.
/MeterTracking/MeterTracking.asp, line 332

Please help me.
You had quotes in between the so tried
objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="\\Phonebk\Meter.mdb""
I got message syntax error
Then I changed to take away quotes.
objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\Phonebk\Meter.mdb"

Doe it matter with the quotes for location
Thanks
Mike

Sorry, that was a typo on my part...

I meant to write:

objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\Phonebk\Meter.mdb"


Fritz the Blank

Please help me Fritz,
It is extremely urget, I have to implement this application inproduction tomorrow.
Any help is apprecited.

What Should I change in the code, to work on this application properly.

Please...
Mike

Is there no way that the database can reside on the same server as your web application?

Fritz the Blank

No because supervisors will go to Network drive(U/Phonebk/Meter.mdb to see the data entered by field employees.

Suggest me if we can solve this with another option. I can change the requirement and communicate to client.
If it is not possible with this network drive access.

Thanks
for your response
Mike

Mike, I know that this can be done, and I have done it before, it is just I am not there, so it is difficult to work through it.

Please see the very last comment in this thread:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20333178/Unable-to-use-mapped-network-drive-in-ADO-connection-string.html?query=mapped+drives+connection&searchType=topic


Fritz the Blank

I did attempted to map to network drive in windows explorer, It worked mnapping,but when I use the path in the datasource, it is not connecting, i am getting message
Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
'C:\WINNT\system32\Meter Track on 'Nigasfs\Coshare'\Meter.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
/MeterTracking/MeterTracking.asp, line 332


Thanks
Mike

Are you talking about a share to your client machine or a share to the server?

You need the latter; the former will not work.

FtB

The network drive name is "Coshare on 'Nigasfs'". So is it not possible to connect to this drive in development server.
I my machine I have set up called Coshare on 'Nigasfs' (U:), and I have no problem connecting to this drive.

Please tell me wheather we can do this or not?

ThanksMike

But the .asp page runs on the server, so the share has to be on that server, not on your machine....

FtB

So share canot be on the server?can you please give me alternate solution for this FTB

I am very desperate now. Please provide me with the alternate solution.
I have to do this by today.
Otherwise i am in deep problem.

Mike--

Let's make sure I understand. You have a web server. Your access database is somewhere else. You have a share on your webserver to that other location, is that correct? When you use the explorer on the web server, you can actually see the mapped drive?

FtB

Yes it is correct

Yes, I see the mapped drive

An the map drive looks like this
Meter Track on 'Nigasfs\Coshare' on the windows Explorer.
Please Tell me what to put in the Datasource path

And access is not installed on web server.
So file is looking like text file. will it be a problem?
I can only open with Notepad. Meter.mdb, It says MDB file.

You won't need Access on the server, so you should be fine.


objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\Nigasfs\Coshare\Meter.mdb"

FtB

Mike--

Unfortunately, I have to leave for the night.

Best of luck to you,

FtB

Can you help me tommorrow, please.
Thanks
a lot for your help today
Mike
Goodnight

Helloo Mike

I am surprised, still you are not able to solve your issue.. I feel mdb on a mapped path should work for a asp connection.. really don't know whats wrong at ur end...

I have on alternative which might work for you.. Why don't you shift your web folder to the network path where your mdb is residing.. I mean give your home diretory of your web to a network path and place your mdb in this web folder. Give read write access to this folder to IUSER.

let me know if it is possible..

I changed line of code to this line now according to Fritztb
objCon.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\Nigasfs\Coshare\Meter.mdb"
I got message
Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\\Nigasfs\Coshare\Meter.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
/MeterTracking/MeterTracking.asp, line 332

Do you guys think, now it is connecting to this Neteowrk drive and permissions with this changes error message
Please let me know

Thanks
Mike

The reason why you are getting this new error is that necessary permissions for Reading / Writing have not been assigned to the mapped drive.

Here is the article that will show you how to fix that:

Finally I decided to change the script to connect to SQL server database and then Asdking DBA to write  DTS script to load the data into access database
 SOrry for the confusion I provided. I think For the time constraint I decided to go for this option becauae
Access also has problem opening by another user, if one user has it open, So onlu 1 person can open the databse at a time. that is the reason, i changed all my code to insert data in SQL server and Created aDTS script.

Well, if you go to SQL Server, many of your problems will dissappear for certain!

I am glad that you found a solution (though at least we finally got the path correct and were closing in on getting this done).

Please be sure to close out this question by accepting the comment that helped you the most as an answer.

I have question,
When I try to debug the code with VB code, I am getting error while inserting the second record THe error
The Object variable or with  Block Varaible not set
Can you help me resolve this issue

Thanks
Mike

Mike--

It might be best to post that as a new question since it is a completely different issue (also more people will help as it is a new question).

If you don't have enough points to do that, then post the code in question here and we'll see what's what.

FtB

I did post as a different question, can you please take a look at the code.\Thanks for your response
Thanks
Mike
Question: Error running........

The Question titile is
