I am using databases in asp to update and extract records. When I call the page the following error appears:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
Unrecognized database format 'C:\Hotels.accdb'.
/htlform.asp, line 3

I use MS Access 2007. I tried changing the file extension to .mdb but it still didn't work.
Please help me with it. Thankyou:)

Almost every version of Access uses a different format of JET database. The "accdb" is more recent. I expect that you might need the right OLE DB data access provider. It seems to me that Office 10 includes a 64-bit JET driver which might be another problem (32-bit vs 64-bit). In any case, simply renaming the extension won't help at all. JET is inspecting the file structure and does not recognize a compatible format. This means you need the right JET...

Since your code says "error... on line 3..."

Edit your question and post the first few lines of your code. This might help us!
