Without seeing what you are doing or how you are doing it this question can't be answered accurately

Solution 1

Usually this error occurs when the MDB database file has the read-only attribut set or if the user that accesses the file has no write permissions.

Solution 2

Which database are you using? I had faced a similar issue with MS Access DB. Check for connection string first and if that is fine, then check if you have allocated proper access over the file.
