hello all, i am using asp.net with IIS on a Windows XP machine to open
an Access database, and i know that this topic has been posted on forums
hundreds of times, but i can't find an answer that works..
here is the problem, i m opening the database with OleDBConnenction and
OleDbCommand...but i get this error:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file
'C:\Database\database.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another
user, or you need permission to view its data.
HOWEVER, when i put the database in D:\Database, it works just
fine.....i researched the forums to find an answer, i even found a topic
on MSDN, but that related to server based IIS, and not WIN XP, it was
talking about permissions to everyone, which is something not found on
WIN XP....the problem is that i am doing this for a college assignment,
and i need to hand in the database in the same folder that contains my
web forms and web.config and all that.....i tried to use
Server.MapPath("..\Database\Database.mdb"), but that also didn't
work....can anyone help please...
thanks
