Cannot access URL with ADO 2.5 and Internet Publishing Provider (MSDAIPP) on IIS 4.0 (253696)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.6
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q253696 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to retrieve data from a URL with ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) version 2.5 and Internet Publishing Provider (MSDAIPP) on Internet Information Server (IIS) version 4.0 (or earlier), you may receive the following error:
Run-time error '-2147467259(80004005)': Unspecified error
CAUSE
The Internet Publishing Provider requires the IIS server to support either the FrontPage Web Extender Client (WEC) or the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol extensions. These extensions are not supported by default on Internet Information Server version 4.0 or earlier.
RESOLUTION
There are two ways to resolve this problem:
- Install FrontPage Server Extensions. This provides the IIS server with support for the WEC protocol extensions. For information on FrontPage Server Extensions, refer to MSDN online at the following Web address:
- Upgrade to a newer version of IIS. Both IIS 5.0 and IIS 6.0 support WebDAV.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.

We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
