Problem connecting to local Access database - Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN ...

[Joe]

Hi

I get the following error sporadically when running a sample in an MSDN ASP
tutorial:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft
Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary
(volatile) Jet DSN for process 0xb88 Thread 0x9f4 DBC 0x2050064 Jet'.

I searched the net for this error and a lot of the articles suggested
permissions problems, and I added IUSER_<machinename> to my temp directory,
as well as to the permissions on the directory in inetpub\wwwroot, but am
still getting this error. Any ideas on this?

Thanks much
Joe
