DNN has not supported the use of Access as the database since the DNN 2.x days.  Sadly to my knoweldge there is no way possible to run DNN on access unless you are willing to use the incredibly old version of DNN.  I would recommend potentially looking at a different hosting provider.

You may be right - but the FAQ refers to Access (see below)

Q4. What steps should I follow for a clean installation?

 

Answer: First, unzip the package into C:\DotNetNuke. 

Second, create a Virtual Directory in IIS called DotNetNuke which points to the directory where the DotNetNuke.vbproj file exists.  Ensure that you have default.aspx specified as a Default Document for your Virtual Directory.  Depending on your choice of database you must have the necessary software installed on your server and you must create the database:

** MS Access ( default ) -- You need to ensure you have the latest Microsoft JET 4.0 Database Engine installed (browse to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=239114) The database file ( DotNetNuke.mdb.resources ) will be created automatically.
