ISAM error

[middletree]

I have some pages working quite nicely on my development site. I am moving
these over to the "real" site where they will be used, and they are
breaking.You can view it yourself. Go to
http://www.sitewrench.com/gracearlin...pe/list.aspThe error I get on
this and 4 other pages is
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not find installable ISAM.
/gracearlingtoncom/shape/list.asp, line 37

However, this page, which is also built by database, works fine:
http://www.sitewrench.com/gracearlin...hape/shape.asp

So this is the part where you, the ASP gurus, will point me to ASFAQ.com. Of
course, I have been there, and the article which most closely addresses this
issue, http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2259 says that MDAC should be
re-installed. I called the host, and they were nice enough to to just that,
with the latest version of MDAC.

However, I'm still getting the same error. And what's really confusing is
that the one page still works. See those checkboxes? All of them are in a
database, so why can this one page work fine, and the rest not work? And why
does it work on my development site?

For the record, I'm using Access 2000. I have no choice on this. I also am
reasonably sure that the OS's on the development and the production machines
are both Windows Server 2003. Finally, the connection is established in an
include file, which is being used on both the page the works as well as
those that don't. I'll be glad to provide that code if asked.

What else should I look at?

I guess we need to see the code.

I hadn't seen that article, but after looking at it, none of it seems to
apply to my case. That is, I can rule everything out, except for the IUSR
permissions, which I will check on with the host on Monday.

If that doesn't work, I'll re-post.
