I would suggest using MSDE (you can get this for free from lots of places,
including VS.Net) and not Access. Access is not meant for use via the
web -- when you try to run this webpage with more than just yourself, you
will eventually find serious performance/scalability problems with it and
virtually no security model. When you ask for help at that time, people
will simply tell you to "rewrite the pages and use something else". I would
like to see you avoid that run-around and just start off on the right foot.

I would suggest you download the .Net Framework 1.1, the WebMatrix IDE, and
MSDE all for free from www.asp.net and get a far better developer
experience. The stuff you're mentioning is all ancient, and it's not going
to be supported for long.

Hi,
I'm trying to set up my home pc with 2000 pro IIS 5 installed. After
writing a simple asp page to open a database and pull back the records
of a table to test, I am getting an error :-
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\adotest\backup\myhols.mdb
Provider error '80040e4d'
Authentication failed.
I have checked all the usual errors:-
set up iusr guest account for full rights
set up anomonous authentication
even followed tech nets advise to give iusr 'act as part as os' within
user rights assignment
Microsoft script debugger says it gets the Authentication error on the
following line:-
conn.Open localpath
within
localpth = Server.MapPath("/adotest/backup/myhols.mdb")
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open localpath
Thanks for any help anybody can give me.
Greg C
