Disk or network error.

Hello Experts
I have a web page which updates an access.mdb, well it used to!

This is developed on my local PC using localhost as the server.

XP was recently reinstalled and now on this PC the update page fails with an error

Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005)
Disk or network error.

The database is works OK and I have Internet Guest account set up for IUSR_Machine name

Any ideas please?
Thanks
John

Thanks Isavidge I have gone right through 1 to 5 and it made no change.

Thank you also rockiroads
I found this article
Define a TMP or TEMP environment variable and assign the variable to an existing folder. If you are accessing the Access database from IIS, be certain to check the system environment settings rather than environment variables of the logged-on user. Also ensure that the IUSER anonymous IIS account has access to the temporary folder.
You must restart the computer after changing any environment variables.
Environment variables are set under Windows NT 4.0 by going to the Control Panel and clicking System and then selecting the Environment tab.

But do not understand it.
It seems to refer to NT4 and I am using XP

I found access.exe OK and did a compact and repair with no probems.
I think we have put that one to bed.

For some reason the connection had an extra Line
Dim MM_conn_BFSN_OLEDB_STRING
which when I commented out the page went on to my next error which is some relief!
