Hi guys,
I’m very new to connecting websites to a database, in fact this is my first time and im having trouble already.

I’m using dreamweaver MX coding in ASP connecting to an Access database. Initially I’ve built and run the site on my windows XP machine, it uses an DSN connection:

Dim MM_conwincoolthings_STRING
MM_conwincoolthings_STRING = "dsn=wincoolthings;"

It runs like a dream on my PC but now that I want to upload it to my webspace I’m having all sorts of problems. I really don’t know how to amend the pages so they work on my webspace…

I think my webspace host wants me to use a DSN less connection as they sent me the physical address:

c:/home/socksymf/html/db.mdb

how do I change switch from DSN to DSN less in dreamweaver and is it a big job?
Can anyone give me some pointers as its all getting a little confusing.

Many thanks
