ASP.NET with Access: concurrent users?

Hi group,

My ASP.NET application connects to an Access database using OleDb. This is
my connection string:

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\xxx\yyy\zzz.mdb;

From time to time I'm getting an [OleDbException (0x80004005): Unspecified
error] when trying to open the connection to this database.

Using Google, this seems to be a read/write security thing. However, my
application works 90% of the time, so read/write access should be okay.

I'm suspecting it has something to do with concurrent users. How does Access
handle this? Can two users open the same MDB at the same time? My
application only executes SELECT-statements.
