	Microsoft have said they will not make an x64 JET database driver. This means that on IIS x64 there will be no support for Access databases. You can however run IIS in 32bit mode this will allow you to use Access databases using the 32bit JET Access database driver. The Access database was never any good when it comes to websites and is being slowly phased out by MS who are pushing people to use SQL Server instead. I would suggest that you use SQL Server instead. MS do a free x64 version of this SQL Server Express 2005 which is excellent. This can be used with Windows 2003 Server x64 with IIS running in x64 mode. Also if you are using x64 I would use Windows 2008 Server x64, as the Win2k3 x64 version is not as finally polished.
