Hi,

Windoze xp pro
IIS 5 or 6 (not sure)
MS Acces 2000 (Might be 2003 shouldn't be a prob tho)

For testing Asp pages I open them on my computer, and see how they will work, look etc before uploading. With windoze 98 I had no problem opening access db and refreshing the webpage at the same time.

Yesterday it didn't like it one bit. access opened the db fine, but then the webpages wouldn't read the db (almost like it was exclusive). So, thinking that it was exclusive, I tried opening from windoze explorer, the shortcut in the file menu of Access and from Access open file dialog; all didn't work, the webpages still refused to load data until I closed the Access db (MS Access itself could stay open).

So, the question (finally) :
Is there a setting on IIS which is affecting MS Access like this?
