SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to a DB2 database from an Active Server Pages (ASP) page, you may receive the following error message:

Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 5 (IBM DB2 ODBC Driver)



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) needs valid permissions on the \SQLLIB folder.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, make sure that the IUSR_ComputerName account has Read and Execute permissions on the files and folders under \SQLLIB.
