Hi list. I was wondering if anybody could help me with an error in ASP, 
where I am trying to make a guestbook with ASP and a MS Access database. 
The error it gives me is:


Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ee'
Expected ')'
/guestbook.asp, line 9
DSNtemp = dsntemp & "DBQ=" & server.mappath("guestbook.mdb)};"

here is my code:

---------------------

<.%
  set conn = server.createobject("adobd.connection")
  DSNtemp = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
  DSNtemp = dsntemp & "DBQ=" & server.mappath("guestbook.mdb)};"
  conn.open DSNtemp
  sqlstmt = "SELECT * from linksdata ORDER BY date DESC"
  set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADOBD.Recordset")
  rs.Open sqlstmt, con, 3, 3
  TotalRecs = rs.recordcount
  x = 0
  For x = 1 to 9999
     If rs.eof then
          Exit For
  Else
              name = rs("name")
              date = rs("date")
              email = rs("email")
              email = "<a href='malto:" & email & "'>" & website & "</a>"
              website = rs("website")
              website = "<a href='" & website & "'>" & website & "</a>"
              comments = rs("comments")
              webname = rs("WebName")
   %.>
<.%
   if IsEmpty(webname) or webname="" then
                 response.write(webname)
         Else
                 response.write ""
         End If
  %.>
  <.%
         rs.MoveNext
         End If
   Next
  %.>

Thanks. Matthew
