Re: Database Connectivity

Hi Y'all,
Thanks for the quick responses to my database question. I'm checking out 
each of your suggestions but not sure I'll figure it out tonight. Anyway to 
answer some of your questions:

I'm using Win98 (not 2nd Edition), MS Access(97 or 2000) as the database 
(as supplied by Webmonkey), IE 5.00.something or other. The prebuilt 
Webmonkey pages are ASP. I can't find any way to set a Data Source Name on 
the MS Personal Web Server. My local IP address is 10.1.1.2 as I have a 
closed intranet with other machines. Localhost is set to 127.0.0.1.
ODBC is set right as I'm also playing with Access 2000 and Data Access 
Pages from other tutorials and the configs are virtually identical except 
for the actual database names.

For those who offered offline help, thanks in advance and if the quick 
suggestions don't work, I'll definitely ask for more help in a day or two.
Regards,
Dave G.
