[dba-VB] OT - HTML & ASP Help Required

Charles Carrol's site is good for info
http://www.learnasp.com/learn/index.asp
I think his ASP mail lists moved here
http://aspadvice.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fsignup%2flist.aspx
or
http://www.genericdb.com

One thing that will save you time  switching from home to work and use 
relative path addressing
Use Server.MapPath() whenever referring to files stored locally on the 
server instead of a static path (except in the rare occasions where it's 
necessary).
dbConn = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=" & 
Server.Mappath("/mywebfolder/") & "\myfolder\edge.mdb;"
