I am using asp and trying to add items to a database. When I only display the contents of the database, everything works wonderfully. But when I try to add a record, I get an error stating that the database or object is read only. I have set the lock and cursor type in my connection string and someone elsewhere told me that I may not have rights to edit the database. My question is, Is it possible that I don't have rights to edit the database even though I have access to place the database on my ISP's web server, and if so, how do I get access? Thanks for any help. I am using an Access database and asp with vbscript.

Have you checked to see the access database file is read-only?

If you mean by right clicking on the file and selecting properties, then yes I have checked to make sure it is not read only. Thanks.
