odbc connection problems

my problem is this: i keep getting the error

"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 0x664 Thread 0x974 DBC 0xdc61a4 Jet'."

when i try to run a program in my asp page. the code that causes the problem is:

Sub OpenAddress (ByRef con)
Address="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
Address=Address & "DBQ=M:\My Documents\Address.mdb"
set conn = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
conn.open Address
End Sub

from what i understand, the error is because either the path to the db is wrong, or the web server permissions are wrong. I have tried every way of using the path i can think of, and have even put the db in different places. i can put it in the web directory with everything else, if thats what it takes, even though that causes a security problem. in case it helps, this is a connection from a different page in the same web to another db that works just fine:

set conn = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
conn.open ("Driver={SQL Server};Server=uspcnas004;Database=PDHUsers_demo;Uid=WebRegistration;Pwd=***********;")

can anyone tell me what the problem is (or even might be)? or am i going to get fired tomorrow when this thing keeps not working and i destroy my computer in frustration?

thanks in advance

well, i'd still like to know the answer to that, but i managed a workaround, so my computer is safe from destruction for the moment

You should post your workaround, that may help someone to:
1)Use the workaround if they're in the same boat you are in
2)Help other people who can help you diagnose your problem

um, the workaround was to move the database i was having trouble with onto the same server as the other database that was working fine. then i could use the same string to make the connection. nothing involving technical coding or anything.
