Maybe a permission problem for the IUSR_Name_or_your_Machine or
IWAM_Name_or_your_Machine accounts. These accounts are those used by IIS.
Try setting to the administrator group to see if this will correct the
problem or give all permission to the guest for the repertory where the
database is located.
The best newsgroup for asking questions about ASP and Access databases is
m.p.inetserver.asp.db .
