ASPRunnerPro General questions

Hi,
I use ASP Runner 4.1 on my 32-bit workstation and use a 64-bit server with SQL Server 2005 as production environment.
However, I had to run IIS in emulated 32-bit mode in order to deploy the website generated ASP Runner 4.1. I tried to run it natively in 64-bit, but there was a problem with the driver for the connection to the database. Is there any way to deploy native 64-bit applications with ASP Runner?

Any suggestion here?
My users deal with a lot of data and it's a pity to use IIS 32-bit emulated on a native 64-bit machine. Specially because most of the time IIS is the bottleneck.

ASP application itself don't know anything hardware and should run exactly the same way in both modes.
What is the error message that you getting?

When I run IIS in native 64-bit I get the following error:
Error number: 3753

Error description: Provider is not specified and there is no designated default provider.

Solution: (empty)
I think the problem is with the driver to connect to SQL Server. I thought that ASP Runner generated the pages using the 32-bit version of the SQL Server Native Client, since my workstation is 32-bit. That is why the error pops up only when I try to open a table, i.e. establish a connection to the database, and not at the login page or menu page.

I found a couple of likns related to this issue:

It appears that connection string needs to be modified to avoid using ODBC drivers (that only run in 32-bit mode).
Use the following connection string (include/dbconnection.asp file)

strConnection = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;UserID=MyUser;Password=MyPassword;Database=MyDatabase"

I finally solved the problem. Now I can run IIS in 64-bit mode. The correct connection string is:

strConnection = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SQLServerName;Initial Catalog=DBaseName;User Id=sa;Password=password;"


It would be good to have an option for this string in the ASP Runner database selection page for SQL Server.

I need a connection string for using with Access. I have the same problem.

Here is my current Connection string:
strConnection = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & server.mappath("db/Transp.mdb") & ";UID=;PWD="

I finally solved the problem. Now I can run IIS in 64-bit mode. The correct connection string is:

I recommend to start a new thread posting exact error message.
