I am running WinXP with and ASP.Net application.
When I invoke a stored Access query which is going to update a table, I get
and error message of "Operation must use an updateable query". Microsoft has
a KB article on the subject and it indicates that the problem is a security
issue and that I need to grant read/write authority to "IUSER".
I went to the folder which contained my folder within the wwwroot directory.
 Using Windows Explorer I clicked on the IUSER Account and granted it "Full
access" to the folder which contains my file as well as the file itself, but
this has had no effect. So I am not doing something correct. Is the "IUser"
not the correct account for ASP.Net for XP or have I done something incorrect
in granting authority to IUser?

When I look at the file permissions of the directory, I see the "Deny"
greyed out but checked for "Special Permissions" and "Write". the "Special
Permissions" is not checked for "Allow" and it is checked for "Special
Permissions". Is this the way it is suppose to be?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!
