Question - I keep getting the above error when I try to run an INSERT query
against an Access database. I'm running XP Professional and VS.NET 2003. I
run SELECT queries from ASP.NET against it all day long, and when I run the
INSERT query inside Access itself, it works fine. But for some reason when
I run it from within ASP.NET, I get the "Must Use Updateable Query" error.
I've tried searching and have also tried setting the permissions on the
directory to be as liberal as possible. Is there another security setting
I'm missing? Or is there an incompatibility with my query? Or some other
problem?

TIA.

Here's my code:

Dim Con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
("PROVIDER="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA
SOURCE=""C:\InetPub\wwwroot\Test1\STORE.MDB"";USER ID=Admin;PASSWORD=;")
Con.Open()
Dim Cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO [tblOrder] ([CustomerID],
[Subtotal], [Tax], [Discount], [ShippingMethod], [ShippingCost], [Total],
[OrderDate], [ShipName], [ShipAddress], [ShipCity], [ShipState], [ShipZIP],
[CCNum], [CCExp]) VALUES (6, 190, 10.2885, 9.5, ""Express"", 10, 200.7885,
""1/15/2005 9:53:29 PM"", ""Joe Mocling"", """", ""Atlanta"", ""GA"", """",
"""", ""1/1/2005 12:00:00 AM"")", Con)
Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Cmd.Dispose()
Con.Close()
Cmd.Dispose()

Hi Michael,

This is usually caused by the current user - ASP.NET not having sufficient
privileges in the directory where the .mdb file is located. Access needs to
create a locking file when it is run... that requires change permissions on
the file and directory.

Thanks Ken, I found that link on a previous search. I've configured the
settings on this box and the web directory to be as liberal as possible, but
nothing seems to be working. I've changed the security settings in IIS to
allow everything and even gave the IUSR_ Administrator rights to see if that
was an issue. On the properties box in Windows Explorer for the folder,
I've allowed everything!

What security settings am I missing and how in the world can I set them in
XP Pro?

Thanks

Michael,

The account that you must give read/change/write
permissions to is the ASPNET account, not the
IUSR_ Administrator nor the IUSR_ MachineName account.

Make sure you don't only give those rights over the .mdb file.

You need to give those rights to the ASPNET account
over the *directory* where the Access .mdb file is located.

This is also a common message generated when the table does not have a
primary key.

Are you giving those rights to the correct user? If Anonymous isn't allowed,
this should tell you who you are dealing with:

Response.Write(Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identi ty.Name)

How do I differentiate who gets which rights? How do I set those individual
user rights over directories? Remember, I'm on a Windows XP Pro box.

All tables have a Primary Key, including the one table in this query.

Hmm. I would, but I loaded up the app in VS.NET this morning and it's
suddenly not working *at all*. Apparently I f*** up the configuration it
needs to even do the half-@$$ job it was doing last night.

Oh yeah, Anonymous Access is allowed.
