The problem is likely that the userid in effect when the ASP page is executing doesn't have the necessary access; the userid would be either IUSR_anonymous or IUSR_MACHINENAME (eg if the name of the server is MYSERVER, IUSR_MYSERVER) and that account needs permissions. I'd stringly advise that you pick up a copy of Rick Strahl's Internet Applications with Visual FoxPro 6.0 which goes into considerable detail about this and other related issues.
