HI

Its a long time since I had to post something on the forum. Today I am looking for a bit of help with one of the pages asprunner makes.
It is the add page.

When I goto the add page I can add names of people to the database then click on the add button.
The problem is this database is for a website that the members have to pay for to get access. I have set up all the ibill stuff. On the last Ibill page you can add your own ASP / HTML so what I was wanting to do is after the members pay and come to this page is to be able to add there own details to the database without it having to be done by the owner of the site. they can't pass on the url because its on a secure server and only reached after you pay. So my question is.
How can I get this page(the add page from asprunner) to add details to the database on the website if it is outside of the site root. ?

Richard,
I guess you need to change your connection string to point your database. There are two possible options here:

  • use absolute path to your database ( i.e. c:\inetpub\www\database\db.mdb)
  • create ODBC DSN that points to your database and use it
    Is that what you need?
