Re: Unable to start application to connect to Access database

By default ASP.NET runs under the ASPNET account.
Make sure this user account has read/write permissions to the MDB file.

Alternately you could use impersonation to have ASP.NET run under a
different account that has the necessary permissions.
Here's more info on impersonation:
