I am trying to connect to my Access Database. Is this the correct way my "web.config" should be setup? The error is " Unrecognized element." and it is referent to Line 1 "<configuration>" All help is appreciated. Thank You.

<configuration>
   ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=MICROSOFT.JET.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE="d:\DZHosts\LocalUser\thesilvagroup\tsgits.somee.com\database\itss.mdb")
   Set DbConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
   DbConnection.Open ConnectionString

<system.web>

        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
   </configuration>

Sorry you are definately wrong。 You CANNOT write any C# or Visual Basic codes there。

You should do something like this following in the web.config：Here's a full complete xml contents，and you can refer to the bold one：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="Your Connection Name here" connectionString="Your connection string here" />
  </connectionStrings>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
      <assemblies>
        <add assembly="System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
      </assemblies>
    </compilation>
  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
      <files>
        <add value="WebForm1.aspx" />
      </files>
    </defaultDocument>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>
