NT4/ODBC/Access problem

by afarcas . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

hi,
i made a web site a while ago. it is hosted on an nt4 server, uses asp for scripting, and an access97 database.
recently i made some changes, including the database. i used win2k and access2000 for development, then converted the database backto access97. everything is ok on the 2000 server. it crashes on nt4. the server that hosts the site returns HTTP500. i tried another nt4 server too, i got on that one ‘could not find file unknown’ – referring to the mdb file, or ‘someone is using the file exclusively’ or so. the dsn is ok, the scripts are ok, the database can be read, modified, etc.
ocasionally it works on both nt servers, and then it starts sending error messages, i wonder if it would be possible that the connections i am opening in the scripts get hung.
