access_asp thread: W2K and ASP\Access application


Message #1 by mark.picton@g... on Fri, 9 Aug 2002 20:38:00
We've got an ASP\Access application that runs fine on an XP development 
machine. However, when moved to a production W2K server we get the 
following message whenever we try to access anything in the database.
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find file '(unknown)'"

We've checked the following
the ODBC is pointing to the correct MDB file. 
permissions have been set correctly for the web server directories (other 
non database ASP pages display correctly).
the database is not corrupt.
database permissions have been set as per instructions on 
webwizguide.com/asp/faq/server_permissions.asp
the database file IS NOT read only

any advice is most welcome

cheers, pico

Sorted - it was some wierd permissions that MS SharePoint had set on the 
IUSR_computer acount at the domain level.
