Jerry,

It definiely sounds like you have a permissions issue. Impersonation gets around the ASPNET account and gives you the same permissions as the user you are impersonating. I would check the domain accounts and make sure that the user you are impersonating has rights to the shared folder. Also, make sure that you access the folder by using UNC and NOT the mapped drive letter.

>>Have you tried using impersonation? It sounds like you re having permission problems. Try impersonating an admin user to see if that makes a difference. Then you will know why the error was occuring. See Message #682735 to see how to setup impersonation.
