Hmm, I cannot reproduce what you are saying with VS.Net 2003 at all. I used
a mapped drive letter to access a remote server's files, and it saved just
fine. I made several changes, clicked the save icon or ctrl-s, and
everything went ok. I tried UNC filename, it was ok as well.
I wonder if anti-virus software is involved here, where it has the file open
that prevents quick modification.

Hi David, I downloaded Process Explorer and replicated the Access Denied error. Looking in process explorer I can see that VS.NET (devenv.exe) has a handle to the file: \Device\LanmanRedirector\;Q:000000000001cf40\otterden\stariq\web site files\stariq\members and looking at the properties it says that there are 3 references and one handle. I really don't know how to use this tool very well so any hints you may have will be helpful. As this is a really annoying problem, I would like to make some headway on it. Should I be posting on the VS.NET group as well? Here is another interesting tidbit. It does not matter if I have looked at the file in internet explorer or not. Simply opening the file and making a change and then trying to save it causes an access denied error. So having done that, I simply created a text file on the share on my server using vs.net. I put it in a directory unrelated to any web site. It create and saved it, that was fine. Then added another line of text and hit the save icon. Boom! Access Denied. Then I went and created a text file and saved it using unc naming conventions. Had no problems creating it and making changes and saving it. This is VS.NET issue. It cannot save files to mapped drives.
