This article was previously published under Q166831
We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SUMMARY

In order to successfully perform a query using Internet Database Connector (IDC) or Active Server Pages (ASP) to an Microsoft Access 95 or 97 database (.mdb) located on a Novell server, you must have Gateway Services for NetWare installed and properly configured on the Internet Information Server (IIS) computer.

MORE INFORMATION

  1. Install Gateway Services for NetWare via Control Panel Networks.
  2. In Control Panel GSNW, click Gateway and enable the gateway. By default, this is not enabled.
  3. Create shares to the .mdb and .mdw (for secure access databases). Typically the .mdw will be on another share or drive.
Once the above is done, you will not need to map these drives in the login script that you run during the logon to the Windows NT Server. Clients should then be able to successfully query to the Microsoft Access database.
APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Internet Information Server 3.0
  • Microsoft Active Server Pages 1.0

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
