Solution or Workaround
This message usually means there is a problem with your setup.asp file, or the location of your database file (For example, the somename.mdb file may be missing).
First, check the configuration in your setup.asp file. Make sure your path or DSN to the database is correct. You also should make sure you have the latest MDAC drivers installed. Also, if you have tried to open the database using MSAccess, and now get this error you may need to restart the IIS service.
