<div>
you can do this instead:<br />
<br />
&lt;%<br />
set conn=Server.CreateObject(&quot;<wbr />ADODB.Conn<wbr />ection&quot;)<br />
conn.Provider=&quot;Microsoft.J<wbr />et.OLEDB.4<wbr />.0&quot;<br />
conn.Open &quot;C:/inetpub/wwwroot/intern<wbr />al_genesis<wbr />/access/Ge<wbr />nesis Accounts.mdb&quot;<br />
%&gt;<br />
<br />
It
</div>


you can do this instead:

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/internal_genesis/access/Genesis Accounts.mdb"
%>

It

Using Server.MapPath to connect to Database outside of root website folder

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
