I am having the same problem, error stating connection string not saved.  I had my hosting company set the permissions (twice, just to make sure) to the proper settings.  After I get this error, I manually open the "data/config/aspbanner_unlimited_config.asp" file and the connection string is there.  I changed it a couple of times just to make sure it was getting saved and it always saves the changes (changed from access2000 to access2002 string)

Before purchasing the banner ad software I downloaded the test connection software to make sure I could install this since I am totally new to asp.  I did get the connection on the test with successful read, write, add and delete. 

However, I was not able to use your suggested connection string.  My hosting company (Ipowerweb) has a script helper which generated a different connection string for me which worked.  Problem with that was there was code that had to be changed and on a simple item like the test it was not a big deal.  On something as large as the banner ad system I don't really want to modify code.  Following is the connection string that worked on the connection test program "'strCon="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & Server.Mappath("\Database\asptest2000.mdb")"

I tried using this format for the data connection in banner ad but could not establish a connection at all with this format.

Suggestions please and thanks for the great software and assistance.
