Hi Curt:
Access can definitely be used from .NET ;-). Have you verified that you an
open it manually? If so, then create copy the Db to your local machine to
like the C:\ drive and create a desktop app. Then use the DataAdapter
connection wizard, it will ask you for a connection, set it up to point ot
the local file on C and test the connection. It should connect. If it does,
then it's most likely a permission problem. If not, then the DB is the
problem, maybe its corrupted (although if you can open it manually then it's
not a corruption).
Let me know.

Auuuughhh! I've tried everything suggested in this message and anything
related I can find on Google, but STILL I can't open Access from .NET to
save my life!!
Maybe the suicide rate among programmers would drop a little if we all
just acknolwedge that Acess CANNOT be used from .NET. Thanks for trying.

First, can you open the DB manually? If not then the problem is much
more serious. If you can then check out this KB Article:\

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file
'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TimeTracker\Data\TimeTracker.m db'. It is already
opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
Does anyone have any idea what to do about this?
