I created the SQL data base it seems good, but I am having a problem connecting to it. I get the error Provider error '80040e21' Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done. I used the code below, does you anybody have any ideas why I am getting this. this is the code in the config.asp file 'Database connection string (Can be Access or SQL Server). 'const DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING = "Data Source=E:\SFpool3\data\NFL.mdb; Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" const DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=tcp:Winhost.com;Initial Catalog=DB_26_nfl;User ID=DB_26 _nfl_user;Password=xxxxxxx;Integrated Security=False;" 'Delimiter for datetime literals in SQL statements (Use "#" for Access, "'" for SQL Server). 'const DATABASE_DATETIME_DELIMITER = "#" const DATABASE_DATETIME_DELIMITER = "'" this is the code in the common.asp ' Opens the database connection (global variable 'DbConn'). '-------------------------------------------------------------------------- sub OpenD4b() dim isPhysicalPath dim dbDir set DbConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection" ) DbConn.Open DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING 'If the path to the database is not physical, map it. isPhysicalPath = false if Len(DATABASE_FILE_PATH) >= 3 then if Mid(DATABASE_FILE_PATH, 2, 2) = ":\" then isPhysicalPath = true end if end if if not isPhysicalPath then dbDir = Server.MapPath(DATABASE_FILE_PATH) else dbDir = DATABASE_FILE_PATH end if if USE_ACCESS_ODBC_DRIVER then DbConn.Open "DBQ="& dbDir & ";Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}" else DbConn.Open "Data Source=" & dbDir & ";Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" end if end sub Thanks, Anton
