By default, your COM server running through FoxISAPI is impoersonating the _IUSR account on the server. This account by default has next to no rights. you can either give this account rights to the data directory (this can be dangerous), or use DCOMCNFG to configure your server to impersonate another account on the machine. I recommend the second route.
