Emmm....bit more info please. Without connecting to what? What are you tryng to do? What kind of machines do you have? Are you working directly with the web server or are you working remotely?

You'll probably need to have a database server running on the same machine as is serving the asp pages. But you'd be better off accessing the database (SQL) server and creating the database directly.

I could be wrong on this but I think there are three ways you can do.

1) create a small database using text file.
2) you can use ADO component to connect to *.mdb file.
3) you can use ADO component to connect to SQL server

Hope this helps

eh im not entirely sure what it is you want to know. You cant create a database with just asp. you can use text files to store things which can act as a type of database.
this is a walkthru on creating a connection to an access DB with asp

Hope it helps, also Google is probably the best place to find out exactly what you want to know.
