I am uploading my site to 1 and 1, we have all the bugs, email etc figured out. The last problem is a big one. I can go through a purchace, after finishing, when I try to access my product page, I get the following error. Could not open data connection. Error:
Could not find installable ISAM.
The Invalid ConnectionString is defined as: Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=e:\kunden\homepages\35\d119123791\fpdb\shop.mdb;

This was there fix, any ideas?

To make a connection to an access database, you will have to use an ADODB.Connection.

Within your asp script you would want to use this code:

<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=E:\kunden\homepages\xx\dxxxxxxxxx\db\myDB.mdb;"
%>

Do I do this just to my product pages?

No, you would add this to either /global.asa (for FrontPage) or /cgi-bin/salescart.asa (for Dreamweaver).
