Appsettings??

[b!g c0dy]

Ok I can try it that way.<BR><BR>When I try with the following code:<BR><BR><appsettings><BR><add key="Conn" value=http://aspmessageboard.com/archive/index.php/"DSN=0000000000;UID=0000000000;PWD=000000000000" /><BR></appsettings><BR><BR><BR><BR>I get the following error:<BR><BR>Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. <BR><BR>Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section 'appsettings'<BR><BR>Source Error: <BR><BR><BR>Line 3: <BR>Line 4: <system.web><BR>Line 5: <appsettings><BR>Line 6: <add key="Conn" value="DSN=0000000000;UID=0000000000;PWD=000000000000" /><BR>Line 7: </appsettings><BR> <BR><BR>Source File: D:webusers000000000htmlweb.config Line: 5 <BR><BR><BR><BR>My main goal is to be able to open the DB from any page just by calling the Conn value.<BR><BR><BR>P>S I changed the actual DSN values<BR><BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Daniel<appsettings><BR><add key="Conn" value="DSN=0000000000;UID=0000000000;PWD=000000000000" /><BR></appsettings><BR><BR>Placed at top of page right below <configuration><BR><BR>And <appsettings> changed to <appSettings><BR><BR><eop>What fixed it was changing the spelling of "appSettings". That capitalized "S" is required. I can't begin to tell you how much time I wasted with trial and error finding out that problem. I was trying to do the exact same thing
