Hi,
Have a site that uses an Access database which has been working flawlessly
for the past few months. Until now. The client sent us an updated database.
We put in on the server but it wasn't working. The information was not
getting pulled from the database and was producing a "no records found" for
every query -- even though results should have been there.

We thought the problem was due to the fact that they sent us a replica of
the database and not an original. The client sent us an original which we
put on the server and now nothing is happening, the query produces a
totally blank page.

In my search for an answer, I found something about needing a global.asa
file in my \Htdocs directory  specifying the absolute path to the database.
This doesn't seem to be an the server. Is this file needed?

The person who set this up is no longer with my office. If an global.asa
file is needed, I wish I knew how he got everything to work.

Go to http://www.cyclesa.com/biketours/bituminous.asp . click on one of the
4 links that queries the database: Attractions or Loding or Eating
Establishments or Shopping. What can be wrong?
