Well, I read a lot. It;s amazing what you can find in books and on the Web. Also, I have doing this for a couple of years professionally....

Anyway, you could try to drop the dsn connection and use OleDb. Not that it will take away the error, but it will be easier for us to see if you use the right database / connection.

Also, make sure the database is not marked as read-only under Windows....

HtH,

Imar

What do you mean by use OleDb. You mean jsut type in all the information via the asp page. I tried that and it still comes up with a error saying it cant connect. Here is the error it comes up with:

Grr. This is a pain in the butt. lol. Thanks for the help Imar.

What I meant with OleDb is to use an in-line OleDb connection string, rather than an DSN. For an example, look here:

http://Imar.Spaanjaars.Com/QuickDocID.aspx?QUICKDOC=284

You can see that the Data Source in MyConnectionString points to an .mdb file directly.

What are the settings for the folder where your .mdb file resides? What accounts have what permissions?

I still think this is a security issue....

What I did was i tried all this in ASPX and I used some premade scripts and put it all on my machine and had it access the access database it had with it and it all worked fine. I think I found the problem. I have XP Office on my laptop. Would this make the Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 be different. I am going to test this to see if it works. Thanks for the help. Will post when I find out.

That didnt seem to work to well, now Dreamweaver gives me a error of 'Unspecified error'.
   -Jerry

The permissions are set to Full Control. I tried the only read & write. But htat didnt work either. I have it on the folder that the databases are in for the user IUSR_MALYCOMP. Malycomp is the name of my server.

Hi again,

Does Dreamweaver give you this error, or do you get this error when you run the page?

Also, are you sure your Website actually runs under the IUSR account (in anonymous mode??)

Ok I can get websites to access 'Access' databases, dreamweaver is giving me the code at the moment. This new one. Forget the first two. I know that this is dreamweaver now. the otehr errors was the server, not dreamweaver. This whole thing is pissing me off. I put SQL Server 2000 back on and now it wont even be seen by dreamweaver. For some reason dreamweaver is giving me a lot of problems now.
