These examples are for demonstration purposes only. You must paste this code in your ASP code to make a connection to the specified database. Note that you must change elements such as database name, server name, database location, dsn, and so on.

Without DSN

<%
Set Cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Cnn.open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\websites1\yourdomainname.com\folder\mydatabase.mdb"
%>

OLE DB

<%
Set Cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Cnn.open "PROVIDER=MICROSOFT.JET.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=c:\websites1\yourdomainname.com\folder\mydatabase.mdb"
%>

File DSN

<% Set Cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Cnn.open "FILEDSN=ADSN"
%>

With DSN and no User ID/Password

<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.open "DSNname"
%>

With DSN and User ID/Password

<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.open "DSNname","username","password"
%>

Without DSN, using a physical path as a reference

<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
DSNtest="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; "
DSNtest=dsntest & "DBQ=c:\websites1\yourdomainname.com\folder\mydatabase.mdb"
Conn.Open DSNtest
%>

Without DSN, using Server.MapPath

<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
DSNtest="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; "
DSNtest=dsntest & "DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("c:\websites1\yourdomainname.com\folder\mydatabase.mdb")
Conn.Open DSNtest
%>
