hello,
 im doing a site for a client that has three updateable sections - reads
the info, image paths etc... from a database.

i have 32 mins to finish it. but i cant because of an error and i cant
work out what is wrong with it...

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' 
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' 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. 
/crimebeat/3/news.asp, line 3 


it should be working fine. it was before i went into the other office.
and no one has touched my computer while i was out. i dont get it. IE
crashed..... sort of. everything was takign ages to load. so, i ctrl+alt
del'ed it and closed IE and restarted the computer. now i cant access
the .asp pages via personal webserver. i cant test them online because
the DSN isnt up and running yet. 

all the file names were uppercase for some reason. they shouldnt have
been. so i changed them to lowercase and went through all the links to
make sure they were lower case too. that all that i have done. but it
was working just after i changed the file names and extensions to lower
case.... then i went out the office, now it isnt working.

anyone have this problem before?

take care,
 
  Rob.
