Suddenly, when it had been working for months, my DB connection seems to 

have broke down and doesn't work anymore, generating the following...

----------------------------------------------

Error Type:

Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)

Unspecified error

----------------------------------------------



The connection string I use, and have used for long now, goes like this:

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data 

Source=C:\datastores\Movie2000.mdb;" & "Persist Security Info=False"



Note that this is happening to all pages placed in two different projects, 

connected to two different databases with two different connection 

strings, but all using the JET machine and placed on my computer.



In addition to my confusion I run copies of my projects on another server 

where the very same pages are (still) working.



So far, I have repaired, deleted and added the databases. I also made 

an .udl file and built a brand new connection string (to the same 

database, though) and run it with "Test Connection" which worked out 

successfully.



Can anyone explain what is happening here and/or have any ideas on 

WhatToDo?



I am running win2000pro, Access2000 and VisualStudio 6.0 with all the 

latest SPs installed.



p.s this message have previously been posted to the beginning_asp list d.s.

Did your host upgraded anything in the server recently?

Check read and write permissions for the data folder if it is so

Cheers
