Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' Error

[paul tomlinson]

Hi folks - i've got a windows 2000 server (SP3) i've run the IIS
lockdown tool on it and set for dynamic websites - all the static
pages within the site work ok but an ASP section has been put in which
now keeps giving me the error below :

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open
registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x404 Thread
0x6ac DBC 0xbd7014 Jet'.

/logon.asp, line 21

I've looked at security writes and at one stage gave the anonymous
user full rights to everything but still no joy - Anyone got any
ideas? probably something simple i've missed within the IIS config
(I've been assured the ASP code was working on another server)

Thanks in advance

Paul

Are you using Access 97 by any chance?

I had this problem with my website using an Access 97 database on a Win2k
server - same error. I changed the database to Access 2000 - no more
problem.

Oh, and as Bob says, don't use ODBC.
