I am contstructing a Web Service and running into problems opening tables.

When I run my Web Service class from VFP (i.e. load an instance of the class and make calls into it's member functions without going through the IIS manager) the program works correctly. I can tell it to open a file e.g. IF FILE(CcApplicationPath+"ARDATA\ARCUST01.DBF") USE (CcApplicationPath+"ARDATA\ARCUST01.DBF") IN 0. (Where CCApplication path is #defined perhaps, or read from a table perhaps).

But that same IF statement when calling the Web Service via IIS returns .F. to the test for the file - it cannot "see" the DBF. I have tried substituting drive letter and directory (e.g. "S:\PRO65\") with the correct UNC name (e.g. "\\SERVER\PRO65\") but it makes no difference.

I have given permissions to the file and to the parent directory to the Internet Guest Account IUSR_etc but this doesn't make any difference.

Can anyone please let me know how an Internet user should find a file?

Thanks
