I'm trying to open an MS Access database, but get the following message:

Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the 
file 'C:\Inetpub\wwwRoot\BegASPFiles\Assignment3\Proj3db.mdb'. It is 
already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view 
its data.
/begaspfiles/assignment3/default.asp, line 18

What does it mean "already opened," or "need permission...?" Where else 
would I have opened it? What did I do to prevent access to its data?

Thanks

What does it mean "already opened," or "need permission...?"  => it means
that the database doesn't had the "change" permission.
Where else would I have opened it? => yes, the IIS opens it and your browers
also ...
What did I do to prevent access to its data? => give the IUSER also write
permissions

If you still have questions,
just shoot ...
