Thanks for the reply Ken.

Not 100% sure, but I believe they are running Win 2003.
I know IIS is v 6.0. Installed framework is 1.0 and 1.1.
My app is running under 1.1.
They finally confirmed that the files are owned by two different accounts.
One by IUSR... and the other by IPOOL...
They will not give either account full permissions for 'security' reasons.

Am I the only one who desires to compact a database periodically??

I thought about looking into impersonation, but they also severly limit
configuration options and that is not listed in their 'allowed' options.

Any suggestions on a work-around?
