Read from access database with anonymous user

Hello,
I have a site that uses windows authentication and I demand credentials for files inside a specific folder. (through web.config).
My problem is that when I try to read something from my access database with a user that is not yet authorized I always get an error. (I am using a datareader with oledb that works perfectly for authorized users).
I do not want to give access to unauthorized users for the specific folder for security reasons.
Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,
Nick
 
What are you trying to read from the Access database? Is there a way
to have that particular information stored somewhere else? I assume
you're mixing sensitive and non-sensitive information in the one mdb.
Removing the non-sensitive info to another location is one way to skin
the cat without jeopardizing your security schema.

If the insecure info is fairly static data or there's not too much of
it, consider XML files, which are easy to read and write to...
