I have a website running on my 2000 machine with IIS and permissions configured correctly. I am trying to connect with an Access DB through ASP. This is the error I get:

Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user

Here is my connection string:

Application("ConnectionString")="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & server.mappath(".") & "\include\db.mdb" & ";User Id=Admin;Password=password;"

After searching the web I found that the system workgroup file may be the problem. I even modified the connection string to include -- System Database=C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\system.mdw; but no luck.

Any ideas??
