Hi, I created a form through the Frontpage Database using ASP.net. I'm not
entirely familar with asp.net. I'm trying to build a calendar type form/db
for a volunteer fire department, the form works and recognizes invald
entries BUT as for submitting the form, it doesn't work. It just says 'The
operation failed. If this continues, please contact your server
administrator."

The URL is
http://www.jmconsultingllc.com/vfd/firecalendar_interface/Results/editor/submission_form.aspx
and the UN & PW is admin.

Any help/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Find the _fpclass/fpdbnet.cs file. In that file, you'll see this line:

private bool DebugOn = false;



Change it to this:



private bool DebugOn = true;



Save the file and run it again. It will tell you what the error is.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for replying, I added <customErrors mode="Off"/> in my web.config
file as directed via the error message I got when I changed the false to
true. Here is the output i get when I submit the form: Debug messages:
Operation must use an updateable query.

I'm sorry to have to ask again,but can you continue to help, as this doesn't
help me. LOL.

Thanks,

That usually means that the process account does not have Write access to
the database file. You need to grant the ASPNET account (assuming you are
running on IIS5) Write access to the database.

Also note, that this is a file system permission, not a web server

thanks guys, when I get in touch with the guy hosting my site, I'll ask him
to put write access on my access.mdb file. Thanks.
