DSN-less ODBC

Posted by admin under ADO database

This way could be very difficult, since you have a lot of options you could specify in the connection string. However, the simple connection string I present to you here is actually all you need for adequate performance in most cases.

Lets say you have uploaded an ad2000.mdb file into your /database/ directory at your host. Now all you do is:

<%
Function Incdb_GetConnectionString( nNumber )
    Incdb_GetConnectionString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("\database\ad2000.mdb")
End Function
%>
