I am trying to make a page that will enter data into a database.

I have a connection made to the database from both my production machine
and the web server. When I test the link it comes back as "Connection test OK".

When I make the insert record entry I find the database to connect to, the
table is there, and the fields are there.

When I go to the page and hit the Submit button I keep getting the following response:

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.

/performance/Gary Hold/DatasurveyTest03.asp, line 27



I have tried everything and can't seem to make it work.

I am using UD4 and the datbase is an Access database.

Here is the code:

Anyone have the same problem?

Hi Gary,

You might want to read more about Access ADo Connections.
There is a very good tutorial about this:

Hi George,

Thanks for the reply. I did some digging myself last week and found out that windows NT 4.0 and Access have a Read/Write etc bug and locked out the database. I gave up and built my table in SQL7.0 and everything works fine!!!

Thanks again.

Gary
