• when connecting to Access, use a JET connection string, instead of the generic Access driver, if you have JET installed - and whatever you do, avoid using a DSN (see Article #2125)
• if you absolutely must use a DSN, try to avoid using an underscore in the name
• do not pass username and password information to an Access connection string unless they are required, and try adding DriverID=25; to the connection string (long shot)
• use server.MapPath() if you are not sure of the absolute location of your MDB file
• if you're using LDAP, see KB #195387 and KB #258845
• if all else fails, make sure your server is up to date with all patches and security fixes (see Article #2151), and update to the latest MDAC (MDAC Download Page)
