I did create register page like an example in chapter 15, Begining Active Page Server Page 3.0 but I got this message when I submit information:

Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E09)
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
/AddUser.asp, line 13


Browser Type:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Page:
POST 167 bytes to /AddUser.asp

Anyone know how to fix it please help me.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

You have to make sure that your database (the .mdb file) is not read-only. To change that, right-click the database, choose Properties and clear the read-only checkbox.

Another, more likely, cause is that your IUSR_MachineName does not have enough permissions to access the database. To fix that, locate the folder your database resides in (for example c:\Databases), right-click the folder and chose Properties. Switch to the Security tab and click the Add button. Then add the IUSR_MachineName account (where MachineName is the name of your computer) and give this account at least modify rights.

Now IIS / the web server is allowed to access and change the database.

HtH,

Imar
