I don't know the proper connection string for a DSN-less connection however this site lists them ALL:
http://www.connectionstrings.com/access BUT, before you do that I'd advise simply requesting our Support department create a DSN for you, so you don't have to worry about connection strings. Then we can make sure the connection is working and all you have to do is reference the DSN in your code. Finally, if you can I'd advise against using Access. Microsoft never really intended it for use in webserver environments and you'd be much better served using MySQL or MSSQL. Plus, Access is unstable with more than 10 concurrent connections and also whenver the size of the db file exceeds 10-20 MB. |

Forget Access. use MySQL. Much faster, and more efficient.

If you are new to MySQL just go to http://www.webyog.com/en/downloads.php and download their free developer interface.

Might also be interested in this article:
http://www.hostmysite.com/support/mysql/amconversion/ Also I would stick with the Official MySQL GUI Tools rather than relying on third party tools: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/administrator/en/mysql-administrator-introduction.html The GUI Tools can be downloaded from here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html |
