ASP causes ODBC/Database read error

I get an error Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80004005'[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Disk or network error. /events/terms.asp, line 5 when asp calls an open database line. I also get several events in the event log "W3SVC" Out of process application '/LM/W3SVC/3/Root/Students' terminated unexpectedly. For additional information specific to this message please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at: http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.

As you might guess, Microsoft are hopeless on this one and none of the advertised fixes - permissions on folders(which are all ok), ability to write temporary files, permissions on reg keys, user accounts out of synch - seems to address it.

Any one have any ideas?

You may have a coding error that's causing IIS to crash your page.

Or, of course, you may actually have a "disk or network error" on the web server.

It actually turned out to be fixed when I removed all the permissions on the whole system and re-applied the default ones Microsoft claimed IIS 5 needed. I had to add in some extras after that to get everything visible but basically it all worked fine then. Oddly, I had manually altered the permissions several times on individual files/folders but for some reason they must have been lacking.
