You are using a physical address in the call to Server.MapPath. This is not possible, as Server.MapPath is used to turn a virtual path into a physical path, so it expects a virtual path. Just remove the call to Server.MapPath, as you already have a physical path.

It looks like some sort of issue with the path to the Access database that you are using. As far as I'm aware the Server.MapPath works on the same file structure as your web pages would. Eg ../database/userId.mdb instead of C:\Documents and Settings\Joy.PHOENIX-1D0486C\Desktop\userId.mdb. So put your database either in the root of your site or in a folder, named database, within the root like I have in my example path.
