I created a windows application, added a Grid Control and connected to the
Pubs.mdb Access database locally with no trouble. Next I copied Pubs to a
WebServer, changed the connection string by providing the IP address of the
web server but the error below occurs. I tried the domain name ( like
ibm.com\Folder) for the server and that failed also. I don't think I'm even
attempting to hit on the server! The error is shown below

An OleDBException was unhandled ==>
Me.AuthorsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.PubsDataSet.authors)

Error : Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is
missing or opened exclusively by another user.

TIA
