I'm new to web development and would like to try out a CSS generated application on the web. I registered for free asp web hosting at http://www.1asphost.com/ and uploaded the published project. I couldn't get the pages to access the database.
I checked the FAQ provided at http://www.1asphost.com/ and discovered that I needed to add a DSN-less connection string cited below.
Dim Conn
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb);DBQ=" &
Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/database/yourdatabase.mdb")
I can't get this to work with CSS. Please help.

Just change the Common class connection string to match your requirements before you upload into www.1asphost.com.

Aaron,
You can use the following connection string in CCS connection dialog:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;User ID=Admin;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/database/yourdatabase.mdb") & ";Persist Security Info=False
Of course please replace 'USERNAME' and 'yourdatabase.mdb' with values specific to your Website.
To find or learn about additional connection strings please refer to http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm

Peter,
I tried the connection string you provided but without avail I recieved a Data Link Error pop-up message indicating that the Test Connection failed because of provider initialization error and also the string does not conform to the OLE specification.
I did make the right replacements to the provided string.

This worked OK for me.
In this case your hosting company might've provided you with a wrong connection string. Please use the exact connection string that they gave you and see if it works.
You can search the generated file "Common.asp" for the string "ConnectionString = " , then enter the connection string there.
If it doesn't work then resolve this issue with your hosting company.
