ASPRunnerPro General questions

 rudge357 author

I am very new to ASP Runner, still in the evaluation period - I am getting error I cannot seem to solve
"operation must use an updatable query" when I try to write data to the database
All the help I find online about this error suggestes I check the (Iusr_machine) internet guest account to see if it has write permissions for the database file. Where and how do I do this ? Microsoft suggests using the security tab in explorer to set the properties for the file - I cannot find any security tab ?
I am a little lost here - any pointers

Hi,
I'd be glad to help you. Please tell me the following:

  1. You test ASP pages locally or on your Web server?
  2. If you test it locally what is your operating system?
  3. Your file system is NTFS or FAT32?

Thanks for the offer to help
This error occurs when I preview the page locally and also when I access the page via the web server from another machine.

****

ASP error
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operation must use an updateable query.

insert into [SALES] ([LOT #], [QTY SOLD], [PRICE]) values (22, 22, 12)
****

Server is running Windows XP Pro, use IIS for serving the web and have a NTFS file system
Database is Access 2000, installed in the ASPRunner "output" directory where the ASP pages are stored. Directory has read/write properties.
Hope this is enough infomation.
Thanks
Steve

Steve,
here is what you need to do to enable Security tab.
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Folder options. Go to View tab. Scroll down to the end and uncheck Use simple file sharing (recommended). Click OK.
After that right-click on the database file you you will see Security tab.
I hope this helps.

Thanks, I to got the security tab and made the setings suggested for the database file. But i still have the same error.
I guess this was not the problem...need to think some more.
ASPRunner is not as easy to impliment as I had hoped. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=1039&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

Fixed the problem. I had to set "everyone" write access rights to the folder containing the database.
