[thelist] DSN-less conundrum and a lost reference . . .

[databarn]

 . . . is driving me to drink [more].

I'm looking for a solution that I could swear appeared on this list, but no can find it.  

Got a database app using Access97 or Access2K, depending upon requirements from the requestor - he hasn't decided yet.  Low traffic, and low connectivity requirements, so Access is ok for now.  Problem is that I cannot seem to manage a DSN-less connection to Access.  Have no control over the server, just have read-write-create-delete access to a folder on the web server - NT4/IIS4.

There was a thread here, I think, a few months back that addressed two points:
a)  what permissions need to be requested from the server admin; and
b)  if no server changes allowed, what needs to be done to get ASP page to talk to an AccessXX database in the same - or child - directory on the web server.

I may be mixing threads in my memory, but I _know_ there was an answer to part 'b' of the questoin - I just cannot find it.  Does anyone recall the reference?  Would appreciate a jolt of the grey matter.
