Database Connection Problem

[kcarrier]

Server is set up on my colleagues's system and i have mapped the drive to share the server from his computer to mine.Now when i try to connect to the database, it always shows the same error,
"Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user"

What am i missing here?

My ConnectString is,
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=abc;Initial Catalog=cat_abc;Data Source=project19;Use Procedure for Prepare=1;Auto Translate=True;Packet Size=4096;Workstation ID=AD666943;Use Encryption for Data=False;Tag with column collation when possible=False;")

I am very confused as to what might have gone wrong,
I even tried the simple format,

"server=project19;database=cat_abc;uid=abc;pwd=abc 123"

Can someone tell me if you ahve idea abt whats going wrong here?

Thanks,
