Too much time I have spent on what I am sure has a simple solution.
Using VisualBasic.NET standard version I cannot connect in a Web project to an Access database without getting a Security Exception - Requested registry access is not allowed.
I have tried various connection strings and changed settings in the configuration file to no avail!
On the same subject I have SQL Server Developer Edition and considering I can connect to this in Access or standard ASP why is it not allowed in VB.NET?
Followup: Eventually sorted as you probably guessed by settings in IIS; Application Protection set to Low (IIS Process). I think - did not itterate completely. There is a blurb from Microsoft about the same error - Q329291 (look at the references at bottom of page too) - so you create an Event Log - wouldn't install for me as inadvertently I had put P/L somewhere and despite trawling and changing all entries in the registry it still finds it somewhere!
