Description:
------------
I am trying to access an MS Access DB on the web, I have created a DSN name for it (through the server's control interface).
The connection script works fine on my own personal computer and I can insert and delete records. Not so when I try on the web server.

The DSN name I assigned is KeretlawDB, and it stores the path of the .mdb file on the server (..\db\keretlaw.mdb)

Reproduce code:
---------------
$link = odbc_connect ('KeretlawDB', '', '');
if (!$link) {
	echo "Connection to ODBC failed: ", odbc_errormsg(), "<br>";
} else {
	echo "Connection to ODBC successfull. NO PASSWORD REQUIRED <br>";
}

Expected result:
----------------
There should be a connection established, and I should be able to retrieve / insert information.

Should have echoed:
Connection to ODBC successfull. NO PASSWORD REQUIRED


Actual result:
--------------
Connection to ODBC failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
