Oh, I saw SQL Server in your original post so I thought that was what you were 
using.
 
Check your permissions on the IUSR account for your web application directory.  
This can be the problem, as this user might not have the correct permissions to 
update or insert records in your database.
 
Open Windows Explorer and find your Access DB. Next, right click with your 
mouse on this folder and choose properties. Choose the tab 'Security'.
 
Now we will add this Internet Guest Account, so click the button Add and look 
for a user called IUSR_MACHINENAME where MACHINENAME is the name of your 
server/computer.
 
Once you added this new user, give it full permission. Last check, the option 
'Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object' must be 
activated.
 
So, press Apply or OK and try again.

well it stilll didn't work.now its giving an error as
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)

I have made a table inventory which is inside inventory db,
& i have stored it in same file as my asp page.

This should work for sql server:

Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

aConnectionString="DRIVER={SQLServer};" & _
"SERVER=localhost;UID=sa;" & _
"PWD=;DATABASE=inventory"

conn.open aConnectionString

I tried to do that but it didn't work
so the next thing itried was 
strConn = "DBQ=My Documents\inventory\inventory.mdb" 
    conn.open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; "  & strConn 
but this too is giving an error as

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path. Make 
sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the 
server on which the file resides.
i think i am giving the right path.
well i don't know whats the problem.

Mark E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I think this line:

conn.open

Should be like this:

conn.open aConnectionString

You are not specifying a connection string while trying to open your 
connection.  That's what the error means.
