Ok...I give up...

It would seem that .NET is designed ONLY to work with SQL
Server...

At first I was getting the following error:

"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file
<file>. It is already opened exclusively by another user,
or you need to give permission to view its data"

This lead me to KB 316675....

I've modified the <processModel> section of the
machine.conf and I still have problems.

I now get a "Could Not Lock File" message.

I am using the 1.0 framework.

Can somebody PLEASE tell me HOW THE HELL TO GET THIS THING
WORKING?

Thanks...and pardon my french!
 
Probably you have the connection open in the IDE in the Server Explorer

This will cause problems, and sometimes closing the connection in Server
Explorer will not get rid of the (.ldb) file.

Sometimes I have to close VS completely, open the Access DataBase, even then
sometimes I have to manually delete the (.ldb) file.

Most times though closing the connection in server explorer will fix.
