A: We need all the following information:

Database Path e.g. c:\inetpub\abc.com.my\data\abc.mdb Note: we suggest that you put your database file into data directory instead of wwwroot (which is your web root directory) |
|
Database Name e.g. abc.mdb If you are using a SQL Database we need: |
| |
|
SQL Username |
|
| |
|
SQL Password |
|
| |

|
|
Permission e.g. read/write/modify/all |
Upload your database file into the database path you specified in the 2nd step. Then, E-mail this information to support@hostpro2u.com and we will create the DSN for you.
