Use firebird not access on server !

Had some problems with a windows server

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot open database '(unknown)'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.

I tested to see if the problem was from odbc (was not there ) then restarted the webserver ) - it seems was an exclusive lock problem (access "database" was not corrupt)

Long term solution:

database should be moved from access to real multi-threaded sql database (firebird) it have full odbc support and more scalable
