I had the whole not having <enable parent paths> checked problem and once that was checked it fixed half of my issuse. I currently link to a Access database using asp from a flash site (login) , this is similar to what i'm doing flash-access, when i switched to a windows 2003 sever the link when the login field and password field are correct goes now-where. This page is where clients login to access there info in our database.. we are looking to switch to mySQL but need a quick fix.. I know this may be a little vague.. any help, questions etc.?
