Win XP.

I can't connect to a db on my network. I get:

"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data."

Nothing needed to open the db and I've set sharing on the folder and no one is using it. I've searched on here and one thread points to a Forta tip. Can't link to it bc of the bizarre aging way he links to them. Here it is:

"Having trouble getting ColdFusion to access files and directories on other servers on your network? It is likely a rights related problem. When ColdFusion is installed on NT (or Windows 2000) it is installed with standard system service access - this allows ColdFusion to access the server it is on, but not any other server. For the ColdFusion service to be able to access other servers you'll need to configure the service to log on with an actual user account. You can do this from within the Services Control Panel applet (or the Services component in Windows 2000)."

Sounds right, but doesn't say much. There are 3 cf services. I assume cf server is the one, not cf odbc agent, or cf odbc server? If I check properties on the cf server, the 2nd tab says "Log On" and I choose the "This Account" button, which auto-inserts a password (no idea). If I leave it at that, it never takes, just goes back to "Local system account." There is an account field to fill in, but what am I supposed to fill in there? And what is the related password? I'm afraid to delete the auto-filled one there in case needed for something. Should I type "Guest" and delete the password?

When I start up XP I don't use an account, it just starts up. So what would anyone suggest?

Thanks.
