I have been working on an ASP site www.middlesexccl.com on my localhost. It
uses a Access MDB and DSNless connections - no issues.

I have uploaded the site and it seems everytime I upload an new version of
the database I am given this error.

It also seems that everytime I upload I copy across a MCCL.ldb file.

can anyone offer any reasoning and advice?

What version of Access are you using?

Have a look at this: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2009

Good. But why are the teams listed in reverse alpha order?!? No
reason why they shouldn't be, I suppose, but it seems a little odd.
You don't hail from Winchmore Hill, by any chance ;-)

Well, this means that somebody whtat is using this database does not have
Modify permissions for the folder containing the database. All database
users need to be able to create/edit/delete that .ldb file. Unfortunately,
failure to delete the file does not raise an error.

If your site is using Anonymous access, then the IUSR, and sometimes the
IWAM, accounts require that level of permissions.
