Too many sessions already active

I have been "Googling" for about an hour and am turning up squat! I just
started receiving this error when trying to log into a MS Access database
from a vb .net web application. Recycling IIS seems to temporarily fix the
problem, but I am at a loss on how to view the total # of "active" sessions,
etc... any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Could not start session. Too many sessions already active.

You are not very descriptive.
What do you mean by "log into" MS Access.....

Most likely your application does not close DB Connections. hence the
message when too many are open
Show us your code where you retrieve data from MS Access.

Sorry about that.... here is a snip of sample code. We have Close
statements throughout the pages, so I am thinking it isn't that... but I
could be missing something?

Dim myConn As New OleDbConnection (AppSettings("m yConnectionStri ng"))
Dim mySQL As String = "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE ID=" & myID
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(my SQL, myConn)
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapte r
Dim ds As New DataSet
da.SelectComman d = cmd
da.Fill(ds, "myTable")
myConn.Close()

note that myConnectionStr ing is set to
"PROVIDER=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;DATA SOURCE=D:\data\ myDatabase.mdb" />

Your code has a problem in case there is an error thrown. Connection will
never be closed...
Proper way would be to enclose it with try... catch ( do not know how it is
in VB)

What you have found out is that MS Access is not designed to handle a large
concurrent user load and is especially not advisable to use for a web
application. You can upgrade to SQLExpress, which is free and uses the SQL
Server 2005 engine.

close your connection in the "Finally" section of your try catch statement
provided it is not null or nothing.
Are you using XP as your web server for testing then it might have
limitations on the number of connections to it.

Here is what is strange... we never got those errors UNTIL I put in the
close statements. Prior to last week, the database connections were never
programmaticall y being closed... it just doesn't make sense to me...

Hi, I am wondering what is the best way to find out which ASP.NET sessions are still active. Here is the reason: I have a custom control which can upload files.

However, if the PC is rebooted before the session times out, the clean up never happens. So what I wanted to do isL: In my CleanUp method, check all...
