Access won't connect

I'm tring to connect to an Access DB with this code:
Code:
	'Open database connection
	Dim objConn
	Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
	connstr="DSN=manual_info"
	objConn.Open(connstr)


but i get this error
Code:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[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.
/index.asp, line 19

The database is not already opened. What does this mean?

EDIT: if i add on error resume next, it just hangs.

When you Know that everyone is out of the computer see if there is still a DatabaseFile.ldb in existence. If it is Delete it.

If that doesn't work, make a test copy and try connecting to the test copy.

Hi,

Try it with DAO. It should work in shared mode too.
---------------------------------------
Dim wsp As Workspace
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set wsp = CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)
Set db = wsp.OpenDatabase("database_path_and_file", False, False)
---------------------------------------

For more, check out 'DAO' and 'CreateWorkspace' topics in Help.

I hope this helps you.

BRegs,

TBÁrpi
