Hi Folks, 



I installed the MDAC 2.6 and the Jet Service Pack and now I am able to use 

OLEDB to connect to the database. Thanks to all those who guided me in 

this process. The problem I face now is with global referencing. I try to 

create the connection in the global.asa file and call it in my other asp 

pages. But I get an error saying that the data source name not found or no 

default driver specified. 



I searched the microsoft site and found out that I need to change the file 

permissions for global.asa. This is the resolution microsoft gives..



"To fix this behavior, change the NTFS permissions on the Global.asa file 

to give the Anonymous Logon account -- as defined in the "Internet Service 

Manager" -- Read (RX) permissions. For instructions on setting file 

permissions, see Windows NT Help. "



I tried to do this but am not sure as to what they mean when they say 

change NTFS permissions to give Anonymous Logon account. I know what the 

ID is and all that stuff, but where do I give this info.? 



Thanks for all your help..
