Cannot make connection after opening Access
Guys:
Just hoping you can point me in the right direction. I have a new laptop, XP Pro with Office 2000, Access (9.0.3821 SR-1), IIS server, VBScript. Things are working OK on the desktop.
All scripts run fine. BUT, if I even open and close the Access DB directly (via Office 2000/Access), the connections no longer work. (the script can utilize the DB, opening it that way:
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0xa2c Thread 0xb94 DBC 0x1010064 Jet'."
I don't believe I should take this error message too literally. I also get it if I leave a slash out in the connection string syntax. Info on this error talks about running regedit. I have solved most problems related to this error by making less drastic changes.
I've also gotten an "undetermined source" error or something like that.
I've looked around the forum for similar problems and saw some things about NTFS permissions and such, but I'm not sure they apply.
Would like to get some ideas about where to start. (If you do suggest things about XP security, please provide as many details as you have the patience for. That's pretty new to me.)
Thanks.
Joe
