Question

User31164289 posted

I've a VPS server on which there are multiple web-app asp.net

Every webapp use msaccess db.

Now I've cloned an old web-app to create test environmentfor my customer.

Problem is that web-app not work. Sometime I can access but after login while open a record it shows an error:

Invalid characters in path.

Sometime I cannot login for the same error.

Googling error i found a post that solve this problem configuring IIS to run 32 bit application. But I think that this action is useless because other webapp work great.

Someone have solution?

If your connectionString is like uses | characters, replace them by /.

Invalid:

connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|ASPNetDB.mdb"

Valid:

connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=/DataDirectory/ASPNetDB.mdb"

Plz make sure that your file of msaccess hasn't been used by any other apps，especially you should Close connection each time after using that。
