I have a classic ASP application. It connects to Access 2000 database.

The provider: Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
The OS: Windows Server 2008 with IIS7
In IIS7, ASP module has been installed.

The connectionString used is:

public_path = "C:\database\"
RealPath = public_path & "dbname.mdb"
ConnStr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & RealPath  & "; Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" & Password

If the *.mdb file is Read-Only then I can open connection and read data, but I get errors on insert or update.

If the *.mdb file is Read&Write then on conn.open() I get the following error:

-2147217887 Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.

I have read this support page and verified the key *OLEDB_SERVICES* exists in the system registry.

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something?

    The problem was the permission of the users.
    The group “USERS” have to have “Deny Write” on the main website folder.
    The group “USERS” have to have “Full Control” on the database folder and file.
