Error when using oledb to get to access database

When I use the OleDbDataProvid er to get info from an access database I get
the following error:

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\Documents and
Settings\bailed l1\Desktop\Dave 's Docs\DemoData.m db'. It is already opened
exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.

I have granted full control permission to the ISUR user with no results.
What do I need to do to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

First, the flame: Don't use an Access database... Convert the database
to MSDE (You do know that MSDE is free, right?) and everything will be a
lot happier... ;-)

Seriously though... make sure that the file is not opened previously by
the aspnet worker process. If it is, restart your aspnet worker and it
should release any file locks on the database. Also, make sure that the
file isn't opened elsewhere. Also, in order for ASPNET to be able to
open the file, the ASPNET account (<MachineName>\ ASPNET) needs to have
read AND write access to the folder that contains the database file (in
this instance, read/write access to your desktop).

HTH,

We recently installed the .Net framework on a windows 2000 server. Shortly after that we experienced intermitant problems running a web based program that accesses an Access 2002 database.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
