Re: data access

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply.

Permissions for folder and dsatabase file changed to write for IUSR and IWAM

Also anonymous access enabled but problem persists.

Any further ideas?

THanks Hugh

Hi Bob - thanks for the reply.

Yes, the site does have anonymous access enabled. The .mdb file does
not reside within the site directory though, and is kept in an
separate directory for access database files. Does this have a
bearing?

Only if the IUSR (and sometimes IWAM) account has not been granted
filesystem Change permissions for the folder containing the database.

Would it be better to keep the .mdb in the same directory as
the site?

No, I never did that.

Before I had to reformat the hard drive I had it working
with data in an external directory, but just cannot get it working
now.

Well, that answers the prior two questions, doesn't it?
