Up until a week ago, all my code was working just fine, no errors, nothing. Now all the sudden, everything that depends on a connection to a database has turned this error:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0175 : 80004005'

Disallowed Path Characters

/countdown.asp, line 4

The '..' characters are not allowed in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

Think maybe that the file structure on my server has changed?? That's the only thing I can think about, but the file is still in the same place, and I'm using Server.MapPath(), which I thought would handle the file path dynamically.. so as you can see I am thoroughly confused. :)

Anybody got an idea?
