Hi,

I have had a problem with IIS (5.1) running locally on Windows XP for a long time, and it just occurred to me to see if anyone has a fix in here...

I am developing a very simple site using an access database and dreamweaver to generate the asp code. I connect to the db using odbc.

The site is fine when i upload it to the server, but when i preview it in IIS on my local machine i often have a problem where the pages won't load:

Error Type:
Provider (0x80004005)
Unspecified error

It doesnt always give me an error, so I'm pretty sure there arent any errors on the page...

I think it could be something to do with dreamweaver having the connection to the database open and the browser not being able to use it, however i still get the error once i shut down dreamweaver.

Can anyone help? it is really slowing down what should be a very simple job. Many thanks

Rob
