having the following difficulty:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.

Nothing else is accessing the MDB file, I even rebooted to doublecheck. The difficulty therefore I'm guessing is IUSR permissions. The further difficulty: I'm on-site at a client's and when the doofus they hired to setup their hardware built their new XP boxes, he chose FAT32 instead of NTFS ... so how do I alter the permissions status on the MDB if I'm stuck in a FAT32 environment?

thanks in advance ...
