It's file-system permissions. Right-click the folder in windows
explorer, choose Security and assign Modify permissions to the users of
the database. Who the users that need permissions are depends on how
your website is configured to authenticate:
Anonymous means the aspnet account is the user
Integrated with Anonymous disabled means the network user is the user

I have no website on mvps.org

Not really wanting to encourage ASP.NET questions and answers here (but
since it has been started), the default user on XP Pro is ASPNET, whereas
it's NETWORK SERVICE on Win2k3.

You can find various samples showing Access in use with ADO.NET code here:
www.mikesdotnetting.com. Feel free to post further Access and ASP.NET
related questions here: http://forums.asp.net/55.aspx
