ASPRunnerPro General questions

Got a strange one here guys - built my app - works well locally but when I uploaded it to my webserver online i came back with the error below when you try to access the login page.
I've tried it on another ASP server and it worked fine - so theres nothing wrong with the code as such - but wondering if anyone else ever seen this or know how to correct it - I assume its something to do with my host servers settings??

Any help very much appreciated <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=1188&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0175 : 80004005'
Disallowed Path Characters
/cm_test/login.asp, line 3
The '..' characters are not allowed in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

Thanks guys

Gary,
what do you put into the Server.MapPath input box in ASPRunnerPro?
Usually you need to put something like db or ../database there.

I put in:
..\..\private
leading the script back two folders and into the private folder (above the root of the site) to the database.
Like I know this works as I have successfully done it locally and on another ASP webserver.
But when I put it on this new sites ASP webserver it gives this error (but this SAME code works on other servers) if u get my drift lol <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=3571&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
I'm a bit mistified to what the problem is?
