Help! i cannot access my ms access database i am using to learn web design.
I keep getting different error codes depending on the windows webhosting used.
The latest i got was :

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x1764 Thread 0xd94 DBC 0x1913f44 Jet'.

/inbox.asp, line 83

On another hosting it showed:

DIAG [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified


I am adding below the content of inbox.asp so you may see if there are errors; I dont mind sending you the whole scripts of the website so you could analyse where the fault is.

Please post the connection string value.

Below is the connection string,

Dim MM_cnxxxx_STRING
MM_cnxxxx_STRING = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("./uuuu.mdb")
