database connection

[John Doe]

When I want to connect to my access database I do this :
set adoCon = server.CreateObject ("adodb.connection")
adoCon.open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="
Server.MapPath("******.mdb") & ";Persist Security Info=False"

Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open sqlstring, adoCon

This works fine, I do have one question though. If I have the access file
opend to for instance to add a record or something, if someone then try to
access the database through asp the user get's a white error page with the
text
"Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
Could not use ''; file already in use.
/d042004/news.asp, line 55"

Is there a way that I still show my html page just without the asp stuff,
maybe add my own error message "Database down due to maintence. Please try
again" or something.
