Ah Ha! I have narrowed it down

[samadams_2006]

I took off "friendly messaging" for the browser, and now have a more
descriptive error for this problem. It says:

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file
'D:\databases\guest.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another
user, or you need permission to view its data.

I have just rebooted the PC, so it cannot be opened exclusively by
another user. When I define the Connection String in the
OleConnection1, I have:

Provider Tab
------------------
a) Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider

Connection Tab
-----------------------
a) I select the database "guestbook.mdb"
b) User name: Admin
c) I click on "Blank password", but not "Allow saving password"

Advanced Tab
--------------------
a) I choose "Share Deny None"

When the wizard is about to close I select: "Include Password"

This didn't work, and I've played around with the settings, but to no
avail. What's wrong?

Thanks

Have you granted access to the database file for the user account that
is running the code? The account is usually ASPNET or IIS_WPG.
