Error: workgroup information file missing???

I am trying to access an Access2002 database table using OleDb Data Provider.
I am getting an error message saying "Workgroup information file is missing
or opened exclusively by another user". I believe it could not find .mdw
although I did create one.

Could someone tell me how I can fix this problem? Thanks

I have worked it out. Just in case someone’s interested.

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\temp\test.mdb;Jet
OLEDB:System database=c:\temp\SYSTEM.MDW;User ID=abc;Password=xyz"
