Thank you Rick,
I am using XP Prof, IIS 5.1
IUSR_DEVELOPER is my username. I pulled up the Local Security Settings applet and made certain that IUSR_DEVELOPER had the rights to each of the 37 security policies available. I did this just to limit my variables. My com object was not able to WRITE to the folder hanging off of my virtual. I then pulled up the Internet Information Services applet and double clicked on my virtual directory named BABYDELL. Then I clicked on Properties. I clicked on the tab marked Directory Security. I hit the Edit button in the section marked:Anonymous access and authentication control. When I was in the Authentication Methods dialog, which was invoked, I unchecked: Anonymous access. The com object was then able to WRITE a file to a sub folder hanging off of my virtual. BUT now I have progressed to the next problem.
I can read all of my data files but I can't update them or add to them. My browser gives me an error:Invalid class string. Please assist me with this new problem. I am so close to being upgraded to XP. BTW... My data files are in d:\vfp\test\data. I right clicked on the "data" folder and then clicked on the sharing and security... option. The data properties dialog was invoked and I checked the: share this folder on the network checkbox as well as the allow network users to change my files checkbox . I then clicked on the tab: Web Sharing. I clicked on the radio button to: Share this folder. Any thoughts?
Regards,
Neil

>>I migrated to IIS via an upgrade to XP prof. I have a vfp - web app that ran properly on win2k IIS 4. The problem is simple but I don't know how to recitfy it. My asp instantiates a com object that writes a file to a folder hanging off of the virtual. My browser reports a "file access denied" error when the com object attempts to create a file in the sub folder. However, if I modify the com object to create a file in a folder that is not involved with IIS, ie c:\temp, the program runs without an access denial error. How do I modify IIS5 to fix this problem?
