ODBC error "Unable to open registry key..."

I am using DSNless connection contracts to connect Access 2000 db and am getting this error:

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x5a8 Thread 0x6e4 DBC 0x2334024 Jet'.

This just started this today. All was fine yesterday and I have not changed or republished anything. I have not seen this error before, have no clue what it means or how to debug it. Any help appreciated.

*Update*

I was able to correct the error by republishing. Now I am able to open a page once, with no problems, but when I go to another page I get:

0x80004005
Unspecified error

D'oh!

Hey... did you solve your other problem? The one about the check boxes?

Thanks for the info, will try your suggestions.

As far as the check boxes, been trying, but that kind of coding is a bit beyond my capabilities. Will keep trying, if you have any suggestions, I would be most grateful.

You shouldn't have to do any coding in particular... just import the smart element or contract and apply it.

I'll see if I can work up specific instructions for you over the weekend, though...
