I wrote some ASP code a few years ago that worked perfectly on IIS
4.0. The same code does not run on IIS 5.1. Can someone take a look at
my code and tell me what changed in IIS 5.1, which no longer allows my
database elements update, delete, add, etc. to work using my DSNless
connection to an Access database? The code is very simple and can be
found at http://home.comcast.net/~colorado.camper/db_test.zip.

I'd very much appreciate an experts look at my problem.

Thanks!

I confirmed my code is good from a friend also running IIS 5.1 -- it
all worked perfectly! The problem appears to be an installation
problem with IIS and/or XP Pro. I've searched Microsoft's site for a
solution with no results. I'm at a dead-end and possibly considering
reinstalling my OS from scratch. We all know this is a major burden. I
can't be the only one who has encountered this problem.
