Default Hope this isn't too late

I just read your post and the message you got about database and DSN I can partially explain at least. Your app seems to be looking for the database connection. Since I don't know enough about what your app requires at this point I will just let you know that the DSN it mentions must be setup by the hosting provider. If your hosting the app yourself using IIS and Win2k server you would go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tolls > Data Sources and create the DSN connection to the database. If your not hosting it yourself, it's even easier. You just tell your hosting provider to set up a DSN named whatever you want, and point it to the database you are using. Then you specifiy in your app the DSN name. It's been my experience that your hosting fee goes up around 6 bucks a month for that service. But that may have changed. I've been hosting my own for awhile and haven't had to price this stuff out lately.

If you were supplied with a database, the above should take care of your issue. If not, you will need to create a database to hold the data your app collects also. If you need help creating the database itelf, just give me a shout. I make my living creating and playing with them and could manage something to handle your needs for this project in short order.
