database connection part 2

[tonysteve]

I tryed to connect the database as "Access Unicode" and I received this message:

Connection verification failed for data source: ask
com.inzoom.adojni.ComException: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\ColdFusion8\Ask Candidates dataBase'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
The root cause was that: com.inzoom.adojni.ComException: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\ColdFusion8\Ask Candidates dataBase'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. in Microsoft JET Database Engine code=0 Type=1

make sure the Access database is not locked or already open on the desktop - the message is fairly straight forward.
