To solve this problem, adjust the properties of the database file in the manager, so that anonymous users have correct permissions. When using the Access database, not only gives the permissions written by the file, but also give this directory, because JET needs to create a .ldb file in this directory. 2. The second reason is that the database does not open the correct mode. You should open the following method. SQL = "Update Products Set Unitprice = 2;" SET CONN = Server.createObject ("AdoDb.Connection") Conn.Mode = 3 '3 = AdmodeReadwrite Conn.open "MyDSN" Conn.Execute (SQL) Conn.close pay attention to the default Mode is set 0 (AdmodeunkNown), which is allowed to update. 3.
