make sure IUSR_Machinename has write permissions to your database

From aspfaq.com

Quote This is almost always a permissions issue. Be sure that the MDB file is in a folder where IUSR_<machineName> and IWAM_<machineName> have read/write access (because the anonymous user needs to create an .LDB file when modifying the database). If you are using Windows Authentication, make sure all authenticated users belong to a group that has read/write permissions on the folder where the database exists, and if you can't use a group, step through each user and check that they have sufficient privileges. 
 
Also be sure that the MDB file itself isn't marked as read-only, and that you don't have the MDB file open (particularly in exclusive mode) while trying to reach the DB from ASP. Make sure you are not using simple file sharing, that you are using an NTFS volume, and that you open Access using the mode adModeReadWrite

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
