I have one that is correct for another server, so I used that one as my basis for this one

```auto
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=\\content\main_data\onlineNew.mdb;"  
 SQL = "INSERT INTO table1

```

But I get an incorrect path error, for the above and DBQ=\onlineNew.mdb & DBQ=\content\onlineNew.mdb

For simplicity and testing I have my form, ASP script & db named onlineNew.mdb all in one directory on a 3rd party ASP server.

Also do I need to set file permissions on onlineNew.mdb?
