1. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open
registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x994 Thread
0xac4 DBC 0x147f024 Jet'.


2. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot update. Database or
object is read-only.

1. Stop using ODBC. The Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers has been
deprecated and users are advised to use the native Jet OLEDB provider
instead. For a non-password-secured database, your connection string can be
as simple as :
conn.open "provider=micrososft.jet.oledb.4.0" & _
"data source=p:\ath\to\your\database.mdb"

You can use
"data source=" & Server.Mappath("database.mdb")
if your database is in a folder within the wwwroot folder.

2. These 80004005 issues are always NTFS permissions-related. The
IUSR_machinename account (and sometimes the IWAM_machinename account) needs
Change permissions for the folder containing the database file.

PS. Gack!! Why did you crosspost to so many groups??? This is an asp and
database issue. You did not have to post to so many groups.
microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.db is the perfect group for this question.
