>I created a report que program that monitors a table for new report requests, processes the request by generating a report file in a web folder and updating the request record with the location of the generated file so that an internet user can view their list of reports and click the link to their document. It worked great until I started testing from a differnet computer, and then I discovered that the program was generating the files with very tight permissions which did not include the IUSR account. What can I do to change the permissions that these files are created with? This is on a Win2K server box using VFP6 sp6a. Thanks,

Shane,
Instead of altering the file permissions, can you create the files in a directory that the IUSR_ account already has access to? By default, the files will inherit the directory permissions.
