MS Access problem with C#

[IainAXA]

Hi

I am having problems connecting to a MS Access Db from C#. If the app and Db sit on the same drive then there is no problem, however if I move the Db to a seperate network drive I get the following exception when trying to connect.

{"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'Y:\\Work\\Data Base\\Db_Dev_01 '. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data."}

The Db does not appear to be opened exclusively by another user, can anyone help me resolve the possible permission issue ?
