How do I set the necessary permissions to read and write?

Hi,

I had an old computer running xp, iis and office2003, where I used an access
database called vvvdb.mdb. From my scripting program (asp) I could both read
and write data from the database.

Now I have a new computer, again with xp and iis. But this time office2007
is installed. However I copied the old database vvvdb.mdb to the new computer.

And now my scripting programs are not allowed to access the database, since
I get the error message (which translated from Danish looks something like):

Microsoft JET database Engine (0x80004005)
Microsoft Jet-database engine cannot open the file
"C:\inetpub\database\vvvdb.mdb". It is already with unshared access opened by
another user, or you need to get the permission to view the data"

I'm the only user, so it seems that I lack the necessary permissions.

In the properties for the folder C:\inetpub\database I have set permissions
to both read and write and for scripting as well. I have also marked "Share
this folder" (even if I do not have to share it with anybody else).

Somebody has told me that I have to give the user IUSR_JRR025296 the
permissions - but where in XP do I grant the read and write permission to for
database for IUSR_JRR025296?

I hoped somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrongly or what I still have to
do in order for my programs to access my database. I think I haved tried
everything - so please help, since I do not know what to do :-(

regards
Jens
