Newbie Question 2

I have my Access Database with one table, the table is a link to a text file
on one of my servers. Can this be accessed using my webserver via ASP?

Have you tried it?

<%
Dim oADO, oRS
set oADO = createobject("ADODB.Connection")
oADO.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" &
Server.MapPath("test.mdb")

Set oRS = oADO.Execute("SELECT * From [LinkedTable]")
If Not oRS.EOF Then
Do while not ors.eof
Response.Write oRS.Fields.Item(0).Value & "<br>"
oRS.Movenext
Loop
End If
oRS.Close : Set oRS = Nothing
oADO.Close : Set oADO = Nothing
%>

I had something close to that. I adopted your code.

Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
'Z:\Database' 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.
/sysinfo.asp, line 17

Why is it pulling from the Z drive?

Response.Write oRS.Fields.Item(0).Value & "<br>"
Response.Write oRS.Fields.Item(1).Value & "<br>"
Response.Write oRS.Fields.Item(2).Value & "<br>"
Response.Write oRS.Fields.Item(3).Value & "<br>"
Response.Write oRS.Fields.Item(4).Value & "<br>"
oRS.Movenext
Loop
End If
oRS.Close : Set oRS = Nothing
oADO.Close : Set oADO = Nothing

Is your site on a Z drive or something? In relation to the ASP file with
this code, where is the mdb file physically located on the file system?

Try:

Server.MapPath("/database/sa inventory.mdb")

I suspect it is not your problem,
but the parameter of mappath is a web type adress:

abs-dos/windows-addr = server.mapPath("/database/sa inventory.mdb")
