accdb and .net; open database error

Question

I'm trying to open access database from my .net application, C#, but I'm still getting this error:
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException(0x80040E4D): Cannot start your application. ... the file is missing or corrupt.

When I open database and run application at the same time. I get error:
the file is opened by another user.

here's my connection string, in general form:

OleDbConnection con;
con = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=path_to_database\database.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database;Password=admin;");
con.open();      // error(exception) here

Thanks

You have a spurious semicolon in your connection string:

;Jet OLEDB:Database;Password=admin;

should be

;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=admin;
