What about the files in the folder?

I would try logging in as administrator. Open a DOS command window. DOS Navigate to the folder and use the DOS ATTRIB -r syntax (check DOS help) to assure the folder and files within are unlocked.

>the folder was marked as read only but i right clicked and unchecked it. but every time that i go back into the folder it is still marked as read only. i used a memory key to transfer the data. the dll was registered using regsvr32 i think, the dos code way anyway.

>>Is the table in a read-only folder? Sometimes, transferring stuff from a CD will set the files to read only. You might need to ATTRIB to turn off the read only status. If the DLL is VFP make sure you registered it.

I had a few problems initially but i thought i got it working. first i installed iis on his machine, its an xp machine but i develop in 2k. then i copied over my directory structure with the website, its very basic at the moment. the website viewed fine, its asp. when i tried to view data from a dbf i got an error about ie not being able to view the database so i installed a newer version, but not the newest - think it is from VFP7, of the odbc driver and again that solved that problem. then i tried running some code that i have in a dll and it wouldn't update a table, it said that it couldn't update a read only cursor. the code is basic, use table1 alias table1 and then replace field with variable. i went over board with the user rights in windows giving full rights to both iusr and iwam just in case and in inetmgr i also gave the folder execute permissions but still nothing. can anyone point me in the right
