    I am getting an error message when trying to load a page ... it does not happen every time, sometimes you can try 3 or 4 pages and its fine. But always i end up with the message immediately below my page header image:

    Provider error '80004005'

    Unspecified error

    /dbconn.inc, line 3

    Does anyone know what this means?

    What kind of database are you using???
    this i know happens most with access database ....

    It might be that you have already opened the access database. Once you close the database file ... that error should stop.

    U might always consider updating your MDAC on your machine.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. The site is using Access, it is used for customer registration details and for adding pages. I assume that the file will be opened for either task, just dont know which cuased the issue. Anyway, the website is worknig again now ... I just wish I knew the exact cause of the problem.

    It happens when you have too many db connections open. Your code is probably keeping connections open too long or not closing them at all.

    This is a permissions issue on the db, how it probably got fixed is that your server got rebooted or all the db connections were somehow dropped at some point.

    You need to fix the permissions on the directory it's in, that should resolve it if you ever have the problem again.

    What permissions do the Acess database need? Just the read permission or read /write or something else too?
