Understood. My point is that without knowing what errors you received,
there's no way to help. However, whomever told that you running CACLS from
your ASP.NET pages is a solution to ASP.NET pages not running is dumber than
a sack of hammers. How are you supposed to run CACLS from your ASP.NET page
if your ASP.NET page won't run? :)

Not much more I can say here. Office was not designed to work this way.
