Access Question

Hi

I am using DNN 4.3.4 - I can use it with SQL2000 and SQL Express without any issue. I am now trying to update conn string to use an Access 2003 DB.

Has anyone done this as I am having some problems. I have added the Access DB to the app_data directory and changed conn string but am not getting any joy as yet.

I want to do it this way as I do not have a SQL database available on my webspace so want to try it with Access.

Any help much appreciated :)

Thanks

Re: Access Question

you need an MS Access Dataporvider (for the Core Framework and all modules) - but AFAIK you will need to write it on your own, there is no one around. You need a webspace with sql server support.

Re: Access Question

Thanks for the response - does anyone out there have any examples of this dataprovider?

I'm thinking it might be easier to buy an sql server database from my host...

Thanks again.

Re: Access Question
