How did you key in your database path in the code?

Did you use a letter mapping or a absolute path? (C:\.mdb or \\TheserverName \Root\.mdb)

Do the users have access to the network drive the file is on? If not this could also be the problem.

I use windows XP Pro sp1 and ODBC driver for Microsoft Dbase Driver (.dbf)
in ODBC select directory I using Mapping Drive (Z:\)


Dim cn, rs, rs1
Dim StkOpn


Set cn=Server.Creat eObject("ADODB. Connection")
Set rs=Server.Creat eObject("ADODB. Recordset")
Set rs1=Server.Crea teObject("ADODB .Recordset")

cn.open "DSNWEBHERO","" ,""
mysql = "Select * From Product Where ProdCode='" & request.Form("t xtSearch") & "'"
mysql1 = "Select * From opname Where ProdCode='" & request.Form("t xtSearch") & "'"

rs.Open mysql,cn,2,3



rs.close
rs1.close
cn.close

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC dBase 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 can access for mapping drive in the network

At best without seeing the configuration of the DSN I would say that pc that is having the problem may have access rights denied for that dsn...but even then if this is a web app that shouldnt be happening...

Obviously though according to the error the problem is with your database path in some way shape or form. You can prove this by changing your connection string to have a direct path instead of using DSN and then test it on the problem pc.
