DSNless Connection String Using ASP
I need help in creating a DSNless connection string for the database driven website I am doing using ASP and Access. However I get persistent error message even though I use
"DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:inetpubwwwrootdatabasesabc.mdb"
Since I use IIS to test the ASP pages, do I need to amend the connection string? Is it necessary to amend the conection string to allow the driver to run on local machine or testing server? I am confused.

My code runs a Select query in Access DB using dsnless connection, and then print out the results. When I run the script the very first time, it works perfectly fine. Then, for the next few seconds (or sometimes minutes) I cannot run any script that uses the database. I get the following error:
Provider error '80004005'
Unspecified error
Exactly same code and DB schema works without any problem on test server but not on production server so I am pretty sure that the problem is not with the code, but I am open to all suggestions. Unfortunately, us programmers are not "privileged" enough to log into the two webservers to compare and contrast.
This is my very first post so I will give you some background of myself. I am new to ASP coding but I have been doing web-based programming in other languages for many years now.

Right, which do you use? If your using DSNless, then STOP! It's SLOWING down your code and making it UGLY!!
Why? Lets look...
UGLY!
Which looks better
[vbs]
"DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & server.mappath("./data/vote.mdb")
[/vbs]
or
[vbs]
"DSN=databaseStuff"
[/vbs]
Its also easier to manage and will cause less typing errors. Think about it, it makes sense!
SPEED
Everytime you run a DSNless connection inside an ASP page the connection string needs to be verified,but a DSN connection is only verified when it is created! Meaning the DSN connection is indeed faster.

I'm trying to setup an Access DSNLess connection on my local computer. The following string works fine within the Dreamweaver interface. But when I upload to my server (locally) I get this error. Can anyone lend some insight?
Object required: 'oConn'
/Connections/conn.asp, line 2
<%
oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
"Dbq=c:inetpubwwwrootauthors.mdb;" & _
"Uid=admin;" & _
"Pwd="

I need to create some .asp pages to publish data from our manufacturing lines...but I can't figure out how to establish the connection string and print the data. I've been stuck on this all day and about to start pulling my hair out!!!
As an example, can someone create the most basic code necessary to build a web page that does the following:
a) connect to a SQL version of the Northwind db (assume I have a functioning ODBC connection called 'Northwind_ODBC' on a server called 'ProductionServer')
b) Loop through the records in the [Shippers] table and paste the values in a HTML table (using SELECT * FROM SHIPPERS)
I know it sounds simple but I'm looking through some books and can't find a solution that works on my server.
NOTE: I'm running Server 2003 (with IIS), SQL Server 2000, and I have proven ASP does work on this machine...unfortunately, just not with the code I'm trying to build!!!

well I'm not sure how to go about making my SQL connection string...
The code below is what I need to replace with my SQL connection...I
just don't know if that code is for DSN or access...
I don't want to use DSN just a connection string.
function GetConnection()
const DSN = "membershipdb"
const UID = "webuser"
const PASSWORD = "password"
Dim p_oConn, sDSN
Set p_oConn = server.createObject("ADODB.Connection")
sDSN = "DSN=" & DSN & ";uid=" & UID & ";password=" & PASSWORD
p_oConn.open sDSN
Set GetConnection = p_oConn
end function

Microsoft has a tutorial for ASP. There is a connection string in the
code
as follows:
DBQ=C:InetpubWwwrootTutorialguestbook.mdb;"
How do I change this statement once I move the page to my web server?
I
have the database in my root folder.

I've been using Dreamweaver MX connecting to an IIS 6 server on win2003. I've used an MS Access DB (2000 format) If I use server DNS, I connect to my via ASP with out a problem. However, my ISP does not support DNS connections, so I've been trying for a few days to get a dns less connection work. This is the closes I've got:
Dim MM_ElimCaAspServer_STRING
MM_ElimCaAspServer_STRING = Connection = "Driver={Microsoft Access
Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" + Server.MapPath("/assets/ElimDb/elimCan.mdb")
I can setup the connection and can test the Record set, it's OK Can see the table data in the test in DW. But when I launch the page, I get a http 500 error. And again, I had no problem with DNS in the same environment.

I am trying to change my connection string for a memo field. I read something about using the following connection string:
Set rstemp = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
rstemp.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rstemp.Open table_name_or_sql_query, your_connection_object, adOpenKeyset
Here is what I am trying to use and I am getting a Type Mismtach error:
Provider error '80020005'
set rsTemp = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
rsTemp.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rsTemp.Open mytable, Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet"), adOpenKeyset
I guess I am wondering if I am using the correct thing for your_connection_object.

My asp application works well when i set up a default user for the asp
application. i wish to integrate user with SQL server by using "Trusted_Connection=Yes"
it works well within the domain workstations (within LAN)
however some workstations (workgroup) are out of the domain, such as remote
workstations by VPN. i try to add domain login details at those remote workstations but still fails.

I really like this forum as I can usually find the answer to all my questions by searching, but I haven't been able to find a way to resolve this problem. This is my setup. We have 2 local servers. One running WinNT that handles all our internal databases in dbf formats. The other server is WinServer 2k3 and it handles all webstuff. The Win2k3 Server logs onto the WinNT Server and can see and open all the files. If I copy a file from the NT Server to the 2k3 server, I can utilize the database using the connect string:
DBConnect.Open "Driver={Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)};DriverID=277;Dbq=;"
but, I cannot connect to it directly on the other server. I believe it is a permissions issue, but if I change the Annonomus Access user to one that can access the other server, it asks for a password. I have even tried a virtual server but cannot find a connection string that will allow me to access it.

Can anyone add the syntax for a password to this code for me I can't figure
out the syntax. I need to use mappath because I don't know the full path to
the database as it's on a remote server.

set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.ConnectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.open server.mappath("database.mdb")

I am using DW8 to create a simple database-driven site using IIS and
ASP vbscript. I have created a virtual directory in IIS and I have
created the DSN, connection and appropriate recordsets. The problem is
I keep getting the following error:
Error Type:
Provider (0x80004005)
Unspecified error
The line the error refers to is always the connection string. And it
seems to be intermittent. Sometimes the page works fine, other times I
get this error - but I can't figure out why. I always make sure that I
save my files and put them to the server so I really can't work this
out.

I'm having a problem connecting to the 4.1.1. mySQL with my existing connection string:
var conn ="Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};server=localhost;database=charmspiano;Option=1;UID=Teddy; PWD=Bear; Port=3306; Socket=; Stmt=;";
This was working fine with 4.0 and 3.23
Has anything changed in the 4.1.1 regarding connection strings? I couldn't find anything on the mySQL website.
The string will work if I use UID = root without a password
"Teddy" is a valid user and has privileges on the database charmspiano

In a asp project I am required to come up with a solution where the administrator of the sytem should be able to set the desired connection string by checking one of two options (access or sql server).
The connection.asp is a asp page that holds the connection strings. I am trying to get the value of chosen option to write a if statement in the connection string. ie. if. then connstring else connstring
how does one store the value of the chosen opton to use it in the connection.asp without using a session variable.

I currently have my SQL Server connection string in an Application variable in the global.asa. Could that be a security risk? I have heard that with Cold Fusion, when there is a page error. the actual Connection String is written to the screen as part of the error page.
I'm quite sure that would not occur in ASP but just wanted to be sure, and get a few expert opinions.

I ALWAYS forget this cause we ALWAYS turn our db connections into COM components. That said... I need one for this project . Here's my base Access one:
DBPath ="C:datastoresmediacd.mdb"
Set Con = Server.CreateObject( "ADODB.Connection" )
Con.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & DBPath
I just don't quite remember the SQL Server variation.

if this is possible. or something close to this being possible
objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open ("my data base information")
objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
type = "Select * from document.oppsform.select_states.value" <----- Here is where the javascript comes into play
objRS.Open (type, objConn)

I was looking at another post, and what the person did was:
Dim strConn
strConn = "string"
application("strConn") = strConn
Now, am I able to create a connection object in my global.asa like so, and then keep my existing syntax for all my hundreds of queries?
Dim strCon
strCon = string
Set Connect = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Connect.Open strCon
?
I'm trying to SAVE bandwidth, so I want to create my connection in global.asa instead of each time my include file 'top.asp' is executed. I can also close it easily...
PS. I believe Application_OnStart() is the best place to put it, am I correct?

I have a OLEDB Connection String that is working very well for me. My
question is that I read that you can store the Connection String in a
seperate include file or somewhere else. I am just wondering where is
the proper place to store this Connection String and how do I call it
from my application. Code:

Server.MapPath("DB.MDB") & ";Connect Timeout=30"
I have use the above connection string in an ASP application, stringA with SQL Server, it works! stringB with MS ACCESS, it doesnt works if I add the "connect timeout" parameter! How can I solve it!? so that I can set the connection timeout when I using MSACCESS as Database.
