Re: Connection to Access Database Problem

Barry,

It still really sounds like an issue in your connection string and you are
correct it is a problem with Access and not Delphi. I encountered the
problem a few years ago. What is the connection string you're using?

Michael,

Thanks for that. I've looked at this link & tried to follow what it is
saying, but it doesn't make sense. The error message is clearly wrong as
the .mdw file is with the database & nobody else is using it. The article
talks about data access pages, which I am not using - I want access to the
tables and views that I've created not any data access pages.

The article refers to Access 2002 & 2003 wheras I'm using Access 2000.

How frustrating is this - a simple connection to a database is a major
mystery - why do Microsoft make things so complicate?

Barry,

Most likely you've an incorrect or missing value in the connection
string.

I've just started to use Delphi 2006 to develop web pages. I'm trying to
get
a connection to an Access database but I get the following error
message:

SQL State: 3028, SQL Error Code: =124520301. Cannot start your
application.
The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by
another
user.

..which doesn't mean a lot to me. I don't have Access ot the mdb file
open
anywhere else. & the mdb is just a simple access file - I haven't set
any
secutity on it.

Has anyone had this problem before and how might I solve it? It sounds
like
an Access problem rather than a Delphi one, but maybe not...
