You need to have write permissions on the directory containing the database.
There is a tutorial for this in the FAQ's in the ASP section of this site, it isn't written for XP Pro but it is very much the same you just need to turn off simple file sharing from 'Folder Options' in the 'Control Panel' first.

"mess"ing in things on two thousand dollar server is not always a good idea

tisk, tisk...
i've seen it all: smashed keyboards, coffee in keyboards, a monitor that was "broken in" with a baseball bat, peanut butter in the cd ROM drive, floppies put in backwards, and heck, even somebody that got their cat stuck in a tape drive...
