The 'proper' way to do this is to run your component under COM+ because you can configure the Impersonation for an (out of process) COM+ package. I say proper in quotes because although it works is somewhat of a PITA especially during development. During development I'd suggest you just give hte account running the request rights to access the data files. By default ASP runs under the inbound user account which is usually IUSR_ or whoever is authenticated if you have authentication set against your ASP pages.

>windows xp sp2 is not allowing a mtdll, which I instantiate from an active server page, access to my vfp tables. It runs fine on windows xp without sp2. Can someone tell me how to set up the rights so that a vfp mtdll, that reads and writes data to vfp tables, so that it can be instantiated on an active server page. BTW.... I am running this on my development computer. The web page is being served up on the same computer that I am viewing the web page from. And.... what user is accessing the vfp mtdll when it is instatiated from an asp.
