Re: Linking a Frontpage 2000 form to an existing Access DB



Using ODBC your connection string should look like this:
"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\mydatabase.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"

With OleDB:
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\somepath\mydb.mdb;User
Id=admin;Password=;"
