<%' Defining some constants to make my life easier! (Same as Sample 1 & 2) 
' Begin Constant Definition 
' DB Configuration constants 
' Fake const so we can use the MapPath to make it relative. 
' After this, strictly used as if it were a Const. 
Dim DB_CONNECTIONSTRING 
DB_CONNECTIONSTRING = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & Server.Mappath 
("./db_scratch.mdb") & ";" 
' We don't use these, but we could if we neeeded to. 
'Const DB_USERNAME = "username" 
'Const DB_PASSWORD = "password" 
'Now we override the above settings to use our SQL server. 
'Delete the following line to use the sample Access DB. 
DB_CONNECTIONSTRING = Application("SQLConnString") & "UID=" & Application("SQLUsername") 
& ";PWD=" & Application("SQLPassword") & ";" 
' ADODB Constants 
' You can find these in the adovbs.inc file 
' Do a search for it and it should turn up somewhere on the server 
' If you can't find it you can download our copy from here: 
' http://www.asp101.com/samples/download/adovbs.inc 
' It may not be the most recent copy so use it at your own risk.
