Hi there...

I`m using Windows XP Pro with IIS 5.1
My db is on Access. I`ve checked that the .mdb file is not a read-only file.
I don`t know what else to do...? Please help me. The excact code was working fine on Windows 2000 but now on Windows XP I`m having probz when I`m trying to insert, update or delete something from the db. :(

Does anyone knows the solution???

The permision from IIS are ok. (I`ve checked the "read" & "write").

Hey,

I was having the same problem. Do one thing try to open your open your database in WinXP ..if access files open it means your MS Office working fine...otherwise you have to d/l a service pack for it from microsoft website...

Else let us know what error comes when you try to update?

The Jet Driver needs not only Read&Write to the file but also the directory containing the file. This because it needs to create the locking file. If it does not have this it creates the locking file in a temporary directory but then opens the database as read-only since the locking file is now not available to all instances of the Jet Driver.

I hope this helps.

Do you know how is this service pack called???

I`ve tried to disable the "read-only" box from the folder that contains the db. But as soon as I close the properties window of that folder then in some strange way the system makes that box (the "read-only" box on the properties) to seem like it`s read-only (the box in the properties is not checked but it`s something like "blur"). Do you understand what I mean? I don`t know which could be the problem... :( I hope that I`ll find a service pack that will solve that problem.

Are you guyz working on Windows XP with Access db???

Did you disable 'Simple filesharing (recommended)' ? Otherwise go ahead and do so...

Open up Explorer.
Go to Options->View
Clear the checkmark...

Thank you for your replies...

the solution lies here:

The only thing I had to do was to:
1. go to the properties of the folder that contains my db
2. go the the WEB SHARING tab
3. click on "Share this folder"
4. check "read, write, *script source*"
5. and so it is done.

I`m working on Win XP pro with IIS 5.1 (SP 1), MS Access db.

But now I have the following question... is there a possibility to occur a security problem now that I`ve checked that "web sharing" function... or it`s just works fine like that?????
