RE: Problem deserializing file from asp.net

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for the reply.

I determined the username using the getusername function. Which wasn't the
account I expected. I gave the file write permission and it works.

Customerrors is alredy set Off, and I already have an error handler which
should write out an error message, still didn't get this working.

Many thanks,

Steve
