I have two seperate forums running on two sites. Both have worked fine. Just come back from a weeks holiday and I now find that one of the forums wont let me in, showing the error,

 Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Operation must use an updateable query.
/forum/common.asp, line 403

When I try to read a post it gives me the error,

 Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Operation must use an updateable query.
/forum/forum_posts.asp, line 321

The other forum works fine and as both database reside in the same directory the read write permissons must be ok, yes?

I've tried downloading, compacting and repairing the database without any luck and also tried uploading the orginal mdb.

any clues?

File permissions can be assigned one on a file by file basis. If you are getting this error then your database does not have write permissions. Just change the permissions on the file or change the permissions on the entire folder.

Many thanks,

The ISP had changed the permissions without letting me know!
