2003 Server and Access

Hi everybody,

My ASP application has been running on W2Ksp4 with IIS5.0 for 4-5 years, and
everything works fine. The ASP application runs on a DLL file compiled by
VB6SP5, and it calls for the API GetObjectContext() via the COM+ Services
Type Library. The database at the backend is a Microsoft Access 2000 SP3,
and it is connected by ODBC and JET engine. A few days ago, I have moved
the ASP application to a Windows 2003 Server SP1 and IIS6.0. When the
application needed to read and write some data from/to the Access database,
an error was experienced and the browser showed "HTTP 500 -Internal server
error". I checked that the DLL file was successfully registered, and it
worked OK as long as it did not need to access the Access database.

Could someone point me to the right direction to tackle this problem?
Thanks.

Bill

It would be helpful if you turned off Show Friendly HTTP error messages in
IE so we can get a more descriptive error in the browser. You can turn
this setting off, by choosing Internet Options from the Tools menu and then
choose the Advanced Options, and you will find this setting under the
Browsing section. Uncheck it and hit Apply and ok. When the error occurs
again, please post the error here.

Thank you,
