    Hi guys,
    I have a problem with my ADO connection now. If the access data file is renamed or is moved to other location, how can i check that and give user a message (or redirect to other page) rather than display a system error page??

    cheers

    Either use the FileSystemObject to ascertain the availability of the file or trap the database error and act accordingly. A search for FileSystemObject and error handling in asp will pull up a wealth of resources.

    Here is a good link for how to check for the existence of your database file before attempting to connect to it.
