Hi Matt,

Thanks for posting in the community.

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue.
>From your description, I understand that when you open an web site in
VS.NET, you get the HTTP/ 1.1 403 Access Forbidden error.
Have I fully understood you? If there is anything I misunderstood, please
feel free to let me know.

>From the error, it seems that you do not have the permission to access the
webfolder.
You should check two permission sets.
1. NTFS permission ( if your web folder located in the NTFS partition)
2. IIS permission

For 1, you need to the browse to the directory where your website point to
and try to set the account you use the VS.NET to access the web site have
full control permission.

For 2. you need to run the inetmgr and browse to the website and right
click on the website and selece properties.
Select Directory security, select Edit in the Anonymous access an
authentication control, uncheck the anonymous access and check the
integrated Windows authentication. This will let you use the logon account
to access the IIS(i.e. the web site)

Please apply my suggestion above and let me know if it helps resolve your
problem.

Best regards,
