It sounds like permissions. Just go into Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder that contains the database, check the folders properties (right-click) and check the security tab. If you don't see the IUSR_machinename (replace machinename with the name of your computer) account there then you should add it with full access. If it is there make sure it has full (read/write/modify) access.

The DSN is correct and the file is local, so it should work. I think it has something to do with permissions but I dont know exactly how to set them.

Is the error. Any help is appreciated.

Is your path to the database correct? Make sure you're using a physical path and not a virtual one. Make sure the database and the folder it is in is accessible to your IUSR_machinename account.
