OK -- the database is live again....

I upgraded it to Access 2000 and took advantage of the opportunity to make a few changes. I deleted all ads and replies prior to 8/1/01, increased the size of the fields for the URL links and photos to 150 characters, and compacted it prior to uploading it again. Let's see what that does...

Kent, the long URL links work. (In Want Ads) Woody

Thanks, Woody. Glad that worked so easily... now if the site will just be stable. It's been running 24+ hours... knock on wood!

By the way, Woody, you can also use HTML in these messages, though I don't publicize that. Should people insert large graphics or tables, it could really mess up the page layouts generated by the ASP code:

You can center, embed pictures, change fonts, colors, and so on... even insert tables as long as you give them relative (%) size of about 90%...

Just thought I'd pass this on... of course I don't want to deal with any weird formatting that may result from someone using HTML -- you're on your own.

Using netscape, when I post a reply I now get notice that netscape was refused access, click the ok box, and the post goes through. As Tok was totally disconnected from phone servise yesterday for about 8 hours maybe it is a local problem thats been brewing for awhile..MPH

MPH. I get something similar occasionally in IE at work -- I think it's just communications problems with traffic trying to get to the Internet.... The problems I was trying to fix looked like this: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Cannot open database ''. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt. /clubhouse/_fpclass/discussion2.asp, line 61 Kent

Kent, I prefer to keep things Simple for now. Posting a picture is good enough. Woody
