Hi there I am receiving the error:

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\\.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.

I have done a search on this and the way to solve the problem is to go to the folder where my database is click properties go to the security tab and add either aspnet or networkservice and give full control. However, these are not part of the Entire Directory.

How do I add aspnet?

Any ideas?
 
I have tried that and the message that appears is

cannot find aspnet

The server is windows 2000 server.
