Can anyone explain the resolution listed in the following Microsoft article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;251254

I have read the article several times and looked at the system environment
variables on my server, which are:

Temp = c:\winnt\temp
TMP = c:\winnt\temp

I'm unsure of what I would need to do to fix the problem according to the
article resolution. Can anyone please help.
Thank you.

Open a command prompt, and type SET
Windows lists the envirnoment variables.
You should see one that looks like this:
TMP=C:\WINDOWS\Temp
Does the folder nominated there actually exist?
If not, create the folder.

Hopefully that is the problem you have and not this one:

Allen,
Thank you for your help. I did as you suggested and the environmet
variables listed after typing set in the command shell were the following:
Temp = c:\docume~1\admini~1\locals~1\temp
TMP = c:\docume~1\admini~1\locals~1\temp

The folder Temp does exist in that path

If I go through the control panel and click on system and check the
environment variables the system variables show the following:
Temp = c:\winnt\temp
TMP = c:\winnt\temp

I discovered the article after researching an error I get when trying to run
ASP scripts connecting to an Access database. I get the JET 80004005 error
disk or network error

The didn't clearly understand what I needed to do to correct the error as
described in the resolution of the microsoft article.

Can you help? Thanks again.

If both paths (through "Documents And Settings" and also WinNT) have a valid
TEMP folder, and you have permissions to write to that folder, then it seems
to me that the k.b. article does not apply.

Could there be other reasons for this? For example is the appropriate
version of JET being accessed? A2000 and later would be JET 4, and A97 would
be Jet 3.5. Are you able to open this database in Access okay? I don't use
ASP, so perhaps someone with experience there can help.
 
Hi Allen,
I finally just figured it out. It didn't dawn on me until just now that
the connection string would need to be changed for the path over the network
share. Switched it and viola...everything works. I really appreciate your
help. Thank you for taking your time to help me out!
