Can't update mdb on another server - 7/8/2004 19:01:42   
I have an intranet server that is outside of the domain. Right now I have an mdb on the intranet server that users can update using asp pages. I'd like to place that mdb on the main server (in the domain) but when I do I get the following error.

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\\path\file.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need premission to view its data.

I've read all of the previous forums and googled 'til my fingers bled. I can't add IUSR to the domain (security issues) but I did add an existing domain user to the intranet server and gave it full rights to the directory and file then made it the anonymous login account. Still doesn't work.

I've edited the global.asa to something like below...

Application(app_ConnectionString)="DRIVER=(Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb));DBQ=\\path\file.mdb;UID=domain\userid;PWD=password"

I've also tried using a DSN, but this seemed an easier way to play with the whole rights issue. Oh, I've also created the TEMP dir on the IIS server and the anonymous user has full rights to it. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help, this forum has been a great resource over the past couple of years.

So - the same database is to be used on the same machine that serves as an intranet AND web domain server? It sounded like it wasnt the same machine?

can't do it like this. :)You need to place the .mdb on the web server,:) make sure it is configured to serve asp, and then re-create your links:)

Well...that's the way I have it now. Problem is I have to have a batch that copies the mdb over to the file server every day...and sometimes they need to access it right away. I used to be able to do this when our file servers were Novell (GSNW was good!).:)

Thanks anyways...:)

play around with this setting. See what happens...
