This is a common problem because IUSR_ and IWAM_ accounts are local accounts only and generally don't exist on other machines so the security can't be controlled that way.

There are workaround for this - you can create the same IUSR_ account on the remote machine - same name and same password. That would allow you to access the data there given you give rights to the data for that user.

>We have an .ASP application which reads data from one of our legacy VFP applications via ODBC. It works fine in testing if we locate the data in a sub-folder of our website on the Web Server [Named CVNET, Win2000].

They have one box, which is a Web Server, and another which is a File Server [Named CVFILE, WinNT], which houses the data we want to read. We tried to set it up, but keep getting errors reading the data from CVFILE.
