Your code is not the problem.
a) move the database out of the www folders unless you have a compelling
need for it to be there.
b) you don't have to create the aspnet user. It already exists. Your web
app is running as the aspnet user unless you change this fact using the
impersonate tag in the web.config. The Name of the aspnet user varies
depending on which version of the OS (and therefore, which version of IIS)
you are using. The account name usually has a prefix of ASPNET.
The step-by-step in in the walkthrough link I provided at the location I
described.
I copied the instructions here, since it appears that you have not read the
article:
------------------------ copied from MSDN article ---------------------
In this walkthrough you will use the third (and safest) method to grant
write permission.
1.. From the File Explorer, find the new Pets folder, normally located at
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Pets\Pets.
2.. Right-click the Pets folder, and select Properties.
3.. Select the Security tab, and click the Add button.
4.. Add the object name <YOURMACHINE>\ASPNET where <YOURMACHINE> is the
name of your machine. Click OK to return to the Security tab.
5.. Select the ASP.NET account, and add Write permission. This account is
named aspnet_wp account, ASP.NET MACHINE Account, or something similar.
6.. From the File Explorer, right-click the file Pets.mdb, and select
Properties.
7.. Select the Security tab, and click the Advanced button.
8.. Check "Inherit from parent the permissions entries that apply to child
objects". Click OK to accept the change.

Hope this helps,

Try reading this walkthrough:
Editing an Access Database with ADO.Net
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...wtaccessdb.asp
look for the section that starts: "The ASP.NET user, by default, does not
have permission to write a record to a database or create a locking file
(.ldb) in the folder containing the database. You must give the ASP.NET
user
these permissions."
I wonder why you are placing your access database into a web folder? You
run into security issues that way. Any reason you shouldn't place the
access db under a seperate folder like C:/MyApplication ?
