Am an absolute ASP novice but am trying to get a simple guestbook working. I downloaded one from powerasp.com and uploaded it but when I go to submit an entry I get this:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not delete from specified tables.

/guestbook/include_save_message.asp, line 37

Can anyone help? Thanks heaps.

I'm not an ASP person but a Cold Fusion person but I thought I'd see if I could help out some

"Could not delete from specified tables"
Has the database been verified with the server? Does the table exist? Is it spelled right? Does the field you are referencing exist? Is it spelled right?

"/guestbook/include_save_message.asp, line 37"
What is on line 37 of the code?

My problem is usually that I have misspelled something. Sometimes I take sections of code from another code I have written and forget to change all the table and field references. Make sure everything is referenced correctly.

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
