Has Windows, ASP or Access gone mad?

[Mats]

Hi
I get the dreadful error
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[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."
when I try to update a table in Access with asp. This is just a
testsetup on
localhost.
This is a permission matter, se Q174943.
The problem is that it appeared out of the blue, and I've checked
permissions and given the anonymus <IUSR>account full permissions to
no avail (for both folder and mdb-file)
I run Win XP Pro patched as much as possible (including IIS) and
Office 2000.
I haven't got any idea what might have happened, the only thing I can
say is that it appeared (and has been so ever since) after I by
mistake tried to update through asp when the mdb file was already open
in Access.
This is rendering my testplatform useless.

Is there an ldb file still in the folder? That can sometimes cause trouble
Have you tried overwriting your working database (mdb file) with a backup?

Are you sure that Access is closed?

Try giving IUSR full permission to your system temp directory,
c:\windows\temp.
