"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' 

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database 

engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively 

by another user, or you need permission to view its data. 

/file_name.asp, line 34"



This file is accessing a MSAccess97 database. It worked just fine up until 

we upgraded the ODBC drivers on our NT4/IIS4 server with MDAC2.5



After that upgrade, we started sporadically recieving errors like this.

I am a complete newbie to ASP (I am reading the 'Beginning Active Server 

Pages 3.0' Wrox book - but haven't gotten far enough in it yet!) and am 

the only support on site for this problem - any help would be GREATLY 

appreciated.



Thanks!

hi,

the err mess can  be due to the opening of database. If u are executing the 

asp file and at the same time if the database i.e ms access table  is open 

then this err mess comes.

Try closing the database and execute the code.



Let me know if it works...

                                                Bye

Hi

Interested in this. I had the same message a couple of weeks ago. Took ages

to find the cause but eventually it turned out to be that the Database

resided on a networked drive. When moved it to local drive i've had no more

problems
