Could not lock file error

[TechniCT]

I am very new to working with Visual Studio, and I am trying to display
information from a MS Access database in an asp webform.

The adapter, connection, dataset, and datagrid setup have been no problem. I
am even able to preview the information, and it is correct.

When I build I get no errors, but when I run I am getting a server error,
"Could not lock file."

I am not sure if this is something I need to fix on the access side or on
the VS side. Any help is appreciated.

It sounds like a permissions problem where the ASPNET account doesn't have
write permissions to the folder where the Access file is located. As the
designer, you would have permissions, but at runtime, the ASPNET user comes
into play.

Impersonation might get you going...
