It could be a permissions problem. Make sure that the IUSR_ account for the web server has permissions on the file/folder where the DBC is located. Usually if you can get the FileSystemObject to see the file than you can open it with the ADO code on your ASP page.

Set FSO=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
bFound = FSO.FileExists(strDBCPath)

Where strDBCPath is the full path to the DBC. HTH
