When I search my access datafile of registered users, everything works fine. However, this database has fewer than 10 records, as it is solely used for testing purposes. When I search another access datafile, different from the first only in that it contains a few thousand records, my .asp results page is not retrieved from the IIS server, and I then I have to contact the administrator to restart the web service on the web server to view my asp pages again. Any help is greatly appreciated!

As a rule of thumb, access databases do not perform well if the size is greater than 50MB and there are more that 10 concurrent queries to it. This is information from MS.
If your database needs exceeds this, you should go for SQL or Oracle or other databases.

the general approach is exclusion of the possible reasons of the problem:)
- check all pathes and names;
- check whether your ASP starts to work: put some test text for output without query execution;
- check whether your database is available: query something simple from a small table;
you might restrict the size of the returned recordset by setting some condition in order to check wheither the problem in database perfromance or in your query.
Also, you might consider multi page representation of the query results: output first N records and introduce Next>> <<Prev buttons for the rest
