I switched to a dedicated server and now web wiz forums gives me this error when trying to read posts:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Operation must use an updateable query.

you need to make sure the databse is not set to read only

and that the folder holding the database is also got read,write and modify permissions.

this is the most cause for the above result.
