Does any one know anything about the following message?

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error

'80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The

Microsoft Jet database

engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already

opened

exclusively by another user, or you need permission to

view its data.

/common/globalInclude.asp, line 10

the database needs to be in a folder that has read/write permissions.

Nope, that error is caused by the Access file being open before the web site tries to access it. I suspect this is a local machine, is it not? If you close Access, the error should go away.
