inetserver asp db : Corruption in Access 2k3 databases

I seem to notice that Access 2k3 tables tend to get corrupted rather easily
when running as a database back-end for ASP applications (different
providers, different code, same structure and content corruption).

Are there any general practices that can prevent this corruption? I don't
have server access at the providers to install MDAC updates and such, so
what's the average developer with public websites to do?

Thanks!
Jack

Use Sql Server 2005 Express Edition instead. If your current host doesn't
support it, there are plenty around that do.

You can delay the inevitable [corruption in Access] somewhat by following
the advice given here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/303528

However, if your database is primarily there to serve up data, and not
perform UPDATES or INSERTS, you may find that an Access database will go for
years trouble-free.

Basically, just one: don't use Access/Jet.
