Hi Chetan,

This seems like a typical connectivity problem probably not related to Vista. Please follow the instructions for posting a connectivity question from the following links:

ODBC Access Driver error in Vista

I am migrating my development environment from XP Pro to Vista, and my website is now serving up the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Disk or network error.

The code in question is as follows:

set dbConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
szPath=Server.MapPath("http://../")
szProvider="Driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb); DBQ=" & szPath
szProvider=szProvider & "\database\" & szDir & "\" & szDB & ".mdb;"
if bDebug then fpDebug.WriteLine("szProvider: " & szProvider)
dbConn.Open szProvider

The error happens on the last line where I try to open the connection. I've tried also using a dbConn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" line, to no avail. The item that is passed to the Open command is

Driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb); DBQ=C:\bobstuff\database\demo\HMGA.mdb;

I'm not familiar enough with DNS and IIS to figure this out. Any suggestions -- other than porting over to SQL and .NET? You don't buy a Ferrari when you only drive in a 30 MPH town.

I'm having a similar problem. I checked my installed drivers and noticed I don't have a standard MS ODBC driver. You might want to make sure you have one. Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Data Sources --> Drivers Tab. MDAC doesn't seem to install on my Win Vista (x64) machine so I'm not sure where to go from here.

|||Does anyone have a solution to this issue. I have given IISUser full permissions to the Access file in the directory. I have checked the read permissions for IISUser and actually have given everyone read to the directory and the file in question. I can open the file in MS Access on my computer and update and change information in it. The same code works fine on my XP SP2 machine. I am at a loss.|||I am having exactly the same problem today... Vista ultimate, was fine on xp|||This article worked for me.

Thanks

This worked for me. The MS article at the bottom of the blog did not.

|||You beautiful geeks!!! I have spent hours talking to MS Tech Support, and they wanted to charge me $99 for email support, or $245 for phone support as this was a "pro-level" problem.
