can you use ActiveConnection in that manner? I thought you had to specific a connection object rather then a string....
you may have tried this already but... I'd suggest.....
Code:
Set myConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Conenction")
myConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\datetastic\Database\date
tastic_database.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"
myConn.Execute "update customers set dt_customer_name = 'sib' where dt_customer_key = 2"
myConn.Close
set myConn = nothing
