Your original posted error was:

>Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
>Could not find file 'C:\AccessDB\access.mdb'.

Your connection was:

><%
> cst = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
>Source=C:\AccessDB\access.mdb;"
> set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
> conn.open cst
>%>

When you looked at this:

> Directory of C:\accessdb

You got this:

>08/25/2004 02:43p 1,941,504 dprdb.mdb

Hate to point out the obvious, but the connection source is a file
named "access.mdb" and the error is that the file "access.mdb" can't
be found. Take a look at your directory listing. Yep, there is no
file named "access.mdb" there. Your file is named "dprdb.mdb".

Sometimes error messages really are that straight forward.

Solution: Okay, if you missed it on your directory listing, this may
not be as obvious to you as it seems like it should be. Change your
connection string to the correct file name.
