You're not dense at all Earl.
;-)
We might have to post back and forth a few times to get this right, so be
patient.
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\atlcon-copy\gmarc tells me that gmarc is a subweb to
atlcon-copy.
So, the following "should work."
1st. right click My computer and click Manage.
In the panel that opens, click the plus signs by Services and Applications >
IIS > Websites > Default Web Site > atlcon-copy
Right click on gmarc and select properties.
The dialog that opens should read gmarc Properties on the very top title
bar.
Click the "Directories" tab. ( if that's not the one that opens by default )
Under "Application Settings" the Application Name: should read: gmarc
If not, click the Remove button opposite "Application Name" and the button
will change to create
Click it and the Application Name: should change to: gmarc
If so, click Apply and then OK.
Then click the plus by Local users and groups.
Then click Users.
In the right panel right click IWAM_UserName ( username being the one you
log onto the computer with )
Select Properties and in the dialog that opens click Member Of.
It should list: Administrators
If not, click Add and add the Administrators account.
Then either Reboot or:
Right click Internet Information Services, scroll to All Tasks and click
"Restart IIS."
Personally, I would Reboot the machine.
