Hi Khaled, 

I've just recently connected to an ESRI geodatabase - and had some problems to 
start with too.

Try running 'ogrinfo' from the Command Line Promt and see if it can access 
your data, ie->

ogrinfo C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MapservApp\donnee\021_La_Goulette_SO.mdb -summary

and see if you get a summary of your data.  If you can, at least you know 
MapServer CAN access your data.

See what happens ...
Cheers, 
Steve
