Cannot Update Error
 

Having some peoblems with a small ASP app.

Page 1 displays a list of items. Click an item and move to page 2 where
full details of that item are displayed.

Page 1 works fine, but page 2 always displays the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot update. Database or object
is read-only.

I can't see anything wrong in the code I haven't used before successfully.

Any idea?

It might help if you provided the relevant code. Otherwise all anyone
can do is guess.

Usually filesystem permissions problems. See

Thanks

It was permissions. The IUSR account didn't have write permission to the
folder the DB was in.
