Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Firstly let me say that I get this same error with whatever I do. I have got XP w/ SP 2, the latest MDAC 2.81 and Jet drivers with SP 8. Also I have stopped and re-started IIS. In the last instance I have downloaded a tutorial from Dreamweaver itself to try to discover and compare the problem. A database is created using "Access" and then a recordset/connection is made to it using an OLEDB script dowloaded from Connections.com so I presume it works however here it is ["Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Documents and Settings\Robby\My Documents\local_sites\Newland\database\users.mdb;User Id=;Password=;"] When I test the connection in DW everything is OK but I never understand why the connection only works for the "Local Machine" option and not the "Testing Server" option which is also my local machine. I dont know if that is a clue ? Anyway here is the code from register.asp

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<!--#include file="Connections/User_Auth.asp" -->

Dim MM_editAction
MM_editAction = CStr(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME"))

MM_abortEdit = false

  MM_dupKeyRedirect = "registration_failed.asp"
  MM_dupKeyUsernameValue = CStr(Request.Form("username"))
  Set MM_rsKey_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
  MM_rsKey_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_User_Auth_STRING
  MM_rsKey_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT username FROM tbl_users WHERE username = ?"
  MM_rsKey_cmd.Prepared = true
  MM_rsKey_cmd.Parameters.Append MM_rsKey_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 200, 1, 50, MM_dupKeyUsernameValue) ' adVarChar

I think the answer to your problem may be in one of the articles suggested by 'Katarey'

It could be the location of the database that is the problem. If your web is set-up for anonymous access and the IIS IUSER anonymous account doesn't have permissions on this folder then you will get this error.

Have you check to ensure ADODB.Connection is install properly?

Try this:

At a command prompt, change to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB folder.
At a command prompt, type the following command:
regsvr32 sqloledb.dll
You should receive confirmation that the DLL is registered successfully

Right-click the DB folder
Sharing and Security
Security tab
Add username 'Everyone'
Check all boxes (probably Full Control)
Click Apply
Click Web Sharing
click Application Permissions
Click OK

Something else happen in the meantime? I don't know but this worked. (Also now working with REG)
