Hi,
I've get a database set up that can be controlled via ASP. I currently connect to it using:

Code:
Set adoCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
adoCon.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("tracker.mdb")


Now, I want to add some fields to the table within in. Unfortinately I can't simply edit the database on the server because the database was originally created in Access 97, and we've subsequently upgraded to Access 2003.
If I convert the file to Access 2003, the above ASP will not work.

Can someone tell me either (a) how to connect to a 2003 version using an analogous method to above, or (b) tell me how to edit the database using ASP?

Thanks.
