ASP Error

I am testing your product and experienced an error when I try product on our server running Windows 2000 with SP3. Have searched this forum/FAQ for error and so far nothing I saw fixed the problem. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=99&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> Could be because I am a newbie at ASP and putting apps up on web -- so am missing something. In case this matters to ASPRunner: I recently had a vendor develop a dot-net application for our server. Most of the dot-net files are located on the web site's root directory and most use an "aspx" extension. The dot-net app works well and has no problem connecting to our MS Access 2002 database and can be seen on net by our stores over web.
To trial ASPRunner I created simple test DB with one table. After following ASPRunner's instructions in the help file and wizard, I created a special subdirectory below the web root directory called "testrun". I get this error at web page it creates:
Error: ASP error happened

Technical information

Error number -2147467259

Here is the connection string -- I created a subdirectory ("testrun") one level beneath the root directory for our web site. On the server the local path to your program's created files would be: c:\extra.myname.com\site\testrun\default.asp ("extra.myname.com" being a pseudonym for our real site name).

<%

strConnection = "Provider=MSDataShape;DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & server.mappath("db\testme.mdb") & ";UID=;PWD="

%>

In case it helps, here is the connection string used by the dot-net application: </system.web><appSettings><add key="ConnectionString" value="PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\extra.myname.com\Database\otherprogram.mdb" />
I would love to be able to get ASPRunner working on our server as I have several Access databases that need to be converted to the web and your product frankly looks like a good one for that purpose (especially for a newbie).
Any help appreciated! <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=99&image=4&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

Kel,
this error message means that ASP engine cannot find your database. When you copy files generated by ASPRunner you need to keep the same directory structure that ASPRunner creates. This means that your database should be located under /testrun/db directory.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,

Hello again,
I created a whole new Access 2002 DB and ran ASPrunner again, ensuring the output went to the \testrun directory. I left everything intact (i.e., ASPRunner output). I tried to view page over web by entering http://mywebsite.com/testrun/default.asp (mywebsite is pseudonym). But I still get that same error.
I am open to other ideas.
Thanks,
Kel

Kel,
make sure that you database is located in the testrun/db directory.
If it doesn't help - just zip and send the whole content of ASPRunner's output folder to support AT xlinesoft.com
