Getting Read/Write Access to Database?

[BansheeTwin350]

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.

contact the support and ask them to allow write permissions on the folder that contains the database file.

Does the owner permission the only one that has to have the write access, or does the 'Group' and 'Other' Accounts have to also have write access, because I spoke with my ISP and they said I already have the access to write. So I opened up WS_FTP and right clicked on the folder containing the database and chose 'chmod(UNIX)' and it shows a read access for all three groups, but only a write access for the owner group. Just wondering if I need to make the other 2 groups to have write permissions. Thanks for the reply!

does chmod work on windows ?
it doesn't as far as i know.
this should be configured from IIS virtual folder not FTP.

I know the host has to be using UNIX for the chmod to change the permissions, but will it still show the current permissions when I open up chmod? And I have a feeling my ISP does not know how to configure this, so you are talking about the IIS virtual folder on their webserver because my ISP told me that I have write access to everything under my folder on the webserver. I think my ISP means that I can add remove files in my folder and they don't have the understanding of editing files. Thanks for the help!
