Processing ASP Forms
Hello,
I am trying to have a user input text into a form on a webpage, and when he/she clicks submit, I want the data to be inserted into a MySQL table/database. I would like to use the ODBC driver to connect to this server, that should be setup already. My SQL file "persons" resides in the www folder. This is what I have so far....

hmmm. Is there an easier way to do this then?
you just need to allow access to the user from within the database. i recommend closing out this question and asking a similar question in the mySQL zone.

My error has turned into this...
Where xyz is the prefix for mysite.
