RE: not now! ASP error code on PWS4

Hi Rob,

>From MS KB article  Q183060 - INFO: Troubleshooting Guide for
80004005 & Other Error Messages:

Error Message
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC
Microsoft Access 97 Driver] '(unknown)' isn't 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. 
Cause
The path being read by the Web server is not a valid path. This
most commonly happens when the Global.asa file is being used
and the connection string was created on a different computer
than the Web server. If the path is a mapped drive letter, it
is probably only valid for the client computer that created the
connection string. 

I'd also validate the the ODBC DSN is still working OK.

HTH.  If not, perhaps browse the entire article to give you some
help.
