Can Not Change Inetpub Read-Only Attribute!!!

[Guest]

I am attempting the following. I created a web in the Inetpub/wwwroot
directory using MS Visual Studio. When I try to enter data into a MS Access
datbase in that web, I get an error telling me the database is a read-only
file. I changed permissions using my Management Console AND I went directly
to the Inetpub folder and unchecked "Read-Only". It then proceeds as if it is
applying to all files and folders, BUT when done and I go back to the Inetpub
properites, the Read-Only box is still checked!!! What is going on?

Hi

You will perhaps be better off posting your question to a Visual Studio News
Group:

I appreciate the tip. But, this seems to be an issue with Windows XP, not VS.
If I open a directory in Windows Explorer and want to change its read-only
attibutes, I should be able to do that, VS or not don't you think?

Hi

The read-only attribute on the folders does not effect the files in that
folder. The read-only attribute on folders can't be changed.

Then can the read-only attribute be changed on files in folders? I need to
be able to write to a folder on the C drive. I have two laptops sitting here

Hi

Yes, you should be able to change the attribute, unless any restrictions
have been put on the Permissions.
