  Re: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Reply Contact initially,i didnt give full permission control. But after i came across the error "Access denied", i gave full control to all files and folders in my wwwroot. Also i enabled the basic authentication feature in IIS manager. Right now,my IIS manager has basic authentication and ASP.Net impersonation enabled and anonymous authentication and forms authentication disabled.

  Re: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Reply Contact Jeff, I found one of your replies to this problem "You may have permission to open the database,but does the account trying to access the database have permission? Most likely it's not the logged in user but rather the anonymous user" i disabled anonymous authn and on execution the page propmpted for username,pwd.but still the same error. how do we check that the account trying to access the database have permission?

  Re: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Reply Contact You can use Filemon from Sysinternals http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/filemon.mspx to see what folders / files are getting access denied.  You can also look in your Security event log to see what failures (assuming you have auditing enabled) to see what user account is accessing the machine.

  Re: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Reply Contact Glad we could help.  One thing to keep in mind when using BASIC authentication, the user id and password are sent in clear text across the wire.  You'll need to implement an SSL certificate to help protect the user credentials.  You can also try implementing Windows Integrated security vs. BASIC authentication.  Just some things to keep in mind security wise.

  Re: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' Reply Contact I noticed a similar error a few months back in my application. After a week of head ache I could find a solution. Thanks to Kanbal.com. Try the solution in the below mentioned url. This could be bcos of the IUSR account permissions or the usage of MS access keywords in column names. Check it out at:- http://www.kanbal.com/index.php?/Int...ied-error.html Hope this helps.
