Phil,

Well I'M BACK!!!!! Actually, I finally got the permission thing checked at the company serving the site. I
just got off the phone with them and they verify that on the NT server, the "data" folder is set for READ/WRITE
and all 10 files in the folder are currently set for READ/WRITE. They verified the IUSER information is all set
appropriately.

Here is what I am getting when I try to delete from the file:
=========================
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]Cannot update the cursor.

/new/userdel.asp, line 18
=========================

Here is the code:
=========================
@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"
#include file="adovbs.inc"


if request("p_del").count > 0 then
dim DBmiym
dim DBpath
set DBmiym=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
DBpath="sourceDB=" & server.mappath("../data")
DBmiym.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver}; SourceType=DBF; " & DBpath & "; Exclusive=No"

set userSet=server.createobject("ADODB.RecordSet")
userSet.Open "select * from user",DBmiym,1,3,adCmdText

for each p_del in request("p_del")
userset.find "userid='" & trim(p_del) & "'"
userset.delete
next

UserSet.close
set userset=Nothing
DBmiym.close
set DBmiym=Nothing
end if
response.redirect "./userlist.asp"

=================================
I can open, search, and display information from the files without a problem. If I try to delete, as above,
I get the error. I checked to make sure I was finding the right record by removing the delete clause and
response.write the info out. That is correct.

On other pages that access the DB, if I try to UPDATE (like making a correction) or ADDNEW (such as
adding a new record) or using an SQL insert all get the same error.


HELP!!!! What am I missing? If this is a permission problem - what do I need to tell them at the hosting
company because it appears it is correct

Thanks

Pete

>Does the table have any memo fields in it? While I think this error is permissions related, it could also have a SQL statement length issue. I recall the ODBC driver having problems with either memo fields, or when it generates a SQL statement (as it would for Update or Delete) being longer than 254 characters. Something like this.

>I don't think, however, that it would respond with this error. I kid you not, it has to be a permissions issue. A solution is to have your NA verify the permissions on these files for the ISUR account. To be certain it is a permission thing, temporarily give "Everybody" a "Full Control" setting on the files. If this resolves the issue, it is unquestionalbly a permissions thing.
