General error Unable to open registry key
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x6cc Thread 0x78c DBC 0x144cfc4 Jet'.
This error can happen for a number of reasons the main reason being if the path to the database is incorrect.

You need to check that the path to the database is correct (You must use the physical path on the server to the database and not a virtual path).

The error is also quite common if the permissions on the server are incorrect. Check that IIS has sufficient permissions to access the registry and that the correct permissions, read and write, are set on the directory containing the database and the database itself, for the IUSR account.
A good beginning makes a good ending
