Hi, I know I'm missing something but don't know what.

I'm getting a
"An exception of type 'Microsoft JET Database Engine: Unspecified error' was not handled"
when I try to open a Access 2000 database with this connection string.

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\ Security Info=False

The exact same code is working in VB so I'm guessing it might be some security issue. Anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance.
 
try just doing
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\
unspecified error can mean a bunch of things. permissions, name spelling etc. work down the possible lists one by one.

Thanks onpnt
I get the same error using the shortened ConnectionString. I'm thinking it something to do with IUSR_MachineName user having some type of XP security issue or something.
