Hi,
I am working on a new installation of ASP.NET application that uses VFP data. The VFP data reside in a certain folder on the C: drive (e.g. C:\MYDATA).
When running ASP.NET application (without impersonating a user in WEB.CONFIG) it opens the VFP tables without a problem. But it fails to add/write changes to the VFP data. In the past installations I had to ask the network administrator to create a domain user that would have access to the VFP data as well as to the ASP.NET Framework folder. It worked.
But I am wondering if it is possible to grand the default ASP.NET user a Full Control access to the VFP data folder. In the past, when I was installing on server running XP, the default user was ASPNET (without period). And it was easy to grand this user access to the data folder. On this box, Server 2003, I don't see a user ASPNET. When I run a test ASP.NET program that shows me the current user it reports that the user name is "NETWORK SERVICE" and the Network Domain is "NT AUTHORITY". How do I grant this user "NETWORK SERVICE" Full Control access to the DATA folder?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
