First, I apologize for cross-posting. It is bad form - but as I really must
try to get a quick reply, I have to risk your wrath...


The problem is this error message:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 5 (Microsoft Access
Driver (*.mdb)
/intranet/welcome.asp, line 32

...which appears whenever we try to access a database Main.mdb on our
server. I would be most grateful if anyone can point me in the right
direction.

This could be one of several things, you've selected the wrong OLE DB
Provider. I'm surprised the error message doesn't indicate that that
it's ODBC for Jet 3.51 or Jet 4.0, depending on your Access version.

The other possibility is a rights or permissions issue, system error 5
sometimes mean that the file could not be opened. Perhaps the mdb
could not be opened or was opened exclusively by another process.
