well i didn't do a filedsn or systemdsn or anything, i just used the provider=...;database=...; and such. i hate DSNs and never want to have to use them. This way is much more portable

voidmain:
But the Access database physically resides on the Linux box, and the ASP on the Linux box can access the data in the Access database?  To me that is the interesting part.

Stryker:
aw man... i just figured something out... There was this service I made a few months ago. It was supposed to redirect everything on port 80 to my windows machine. I disabled it, i just wanted to see if i could make such a thing. but i remember restarting the computer today, which brought it back on. and i had the site on my windows machine to test some things. I realized this when i changed the code and got an error and it linked me to a  microsoft site, and saying IIS syntax error - line 31 - view.asp... figures. I didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up i'm sorry. Although I have the next 3 days to just sit around, i'll be translating the site to php so they don't think i'm a liar or anything.

voidmain:
I thought it sounded a little fishy (dodgy in England) but not having tried it under Apache 2.0 I couldn't really say one way or the other. You could always leave it pointing the the IIS box until you get everything converted. Then you could say "see, this thing is so close it even gives MS/IIS errors".  

Stryker:
No, I can't go and tell them it's great because it gives me errors that microsoft gave me. I have to fix the little problem ( a misspelled keyword) and then say it even fixes it.    
It won't take long to convert it though, it'll be done in a few hours (i'm doing it for free, i just want them without the nt server)
