I'm developing a data driven website that uses asp and msAccess2000. I am running IIS5 on a plain ol' windows2k workstation for testing purposes.
Let's say I open the access database manually to check on a field name, for example.
Then let's say I forget to close the access database by accident and I go to my site, and request a page that writes data to the browser from my database.
For some reason at this point, if the website tries to access the db while it's already open, the "page cannot be displayed" "unspecified error" error happens on the site, and from the on, any asp page that uses the db doesn't work.
The only thing that will fix it seems to be performing a full reboot of the server machine.
I don't remember this happening before on other websites I've designed using the same server. Why is this one different?
oh yeah - it always blows up on the line of code that reads something like:
cnMyConnection.Open Application("MyDatabaseConnection"
How much more water would there be in the ocean if it weren't for sponges?
