When you use Internet Information Server (IIS) to connect to a Microsoft
Access database, a slow memory leak may occur over a long period of time.
This memory leak depends on how heavily the server is used and how often
the database is queried. It is confirmed that this memory leak happens
regardless of the query used.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet
Information Server versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. This problem has been fixed
in Internet Information Server versions 4.0
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, stop the WWW service periodically. You can do
this manually or by using a batch file to run the following commands:
net stop w3svc
net start w3svc
