I am trying to set up Magsbot with a database, but I keep getting an error
message saying that the provider can not be found and it might not be
installed improperly

The funny thing is that for awhile it was working fine, but now it
doesn't....

I deleted everything in my magsbot folder and re-extracted all the files
into the folder for a fresh start.....then I reread Magine's class logs and
followed all the instructions, but I still get the same error.

I have this in my magsbot.ini file:

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
Connect=Data Source=MyDatabase.mdb;Persist Security Info=False
Table=MyTable

This is the same information, I think, that I had before when it was working
and the same info I had when it quit working.

Did you install or uninstall any other software before it stopped working?

Try these settings instead:

Provider=
Connect=Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=RPG.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;
Table=players
SQL="select * from users.dbf"

I found the problem..the database window settings did not match the .ini =
settings...I changed them and it worked fine...took me a few weeks to =
figure it out, though, LOL

maybe could you make it so the database dialogue matches the .ini file =
by default, please?

The database dialog loads the settings from the .ini, so I'm not sure
what you mean....but I'm glad you got it working.
