GoDaddy error message

Community Beginner ,

Hi All,
I'm trying out GoDaddy.com's Coldfusion hosting and I'm having a bit of a problem and I'm wondering if anyone has had it in the past. I'm getting the error message..

"Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user."

When I test my site locally, it works fine, so I'm having trouble trouble shooting. Thanks for any help.

For once, that is not a GoDaddy issue. A 'workgroup information' file
is the security file for an Access Database. You must have it on you
local machine and do not have it on the server.

How you get it to the server I can not say, I would hazard a guess that
it might not be possible.

Your solutions, as I see them, is to 1) upgrade to an enterprise
database that handles security in a more native manner and does not
require outside files. There are now free versions of every popular
database for low volume sites. MS Access, from the mouth of Microsoft
itself, is not designed to be used in such a shared manner as an
internet application and it is so easy to lock up in such a manner.

2) Remove the security from your access database so that it does not
need a 'workgroup information ' file.
