I would check what the actual logged on account is in your application. Typically it'll be the Application Pool's Identity (Network Service or SYSTEM or whatever is configured for the AppPool).

To find out quickly, create a page and add this to it:

< %
Set oNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Response.Write(oNetwork.UserName)
% >

and see what it returns. This will be the account you need permissions for and most likely you can configure it in the Application Pool Impersonation.

>spent years never looking at 2 very old classic asp projects and now both need moving fairly smartly. One, referenced in another thread, is being converted to .net but I have a problem with another that is moving server.
>Current setup is that the same server holds the files on the d drive and iis files on the c drive. New setup will have iic on it's own virtual server and the data files on a different server. I setup iis on the virtual server, loaded the vfpoledb and odbc drivers and think i have everything matching the old setup, however I get this error.
