Cannot connect to Access Database

A

I've developed two web sites that use Access backends with ASP 3.0 pages that
performs reads and updates on the data in the db. I'm getting the following
error:

Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file
'c:\datastores\starswhitedb.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another
user, or you need permission to view its data.
/starswhite/admin/validate.asp, line 11

But the database is not open at all so my guess is that this is a
permissions issue. To set the folder-level permissions, take the following
actions:

1. Run Windows explorer
2. Select the folder
3. Select properties
4. Go to Web Sharing tab set "share on default web site"
5. Remove "green indicator" on the "read only" on the general tab
NOTE: I do not see the security tab even though I have selected the "simple
permissions option" via File Options.

Why aren't the permissions being granted?
