How do I set ASPNET account write access on Windows2003 Server?

[Paul D. Fox]

When I installed Windows 2003 Server as a Domain Controller, the local
ASPNET machine account doesn't exist. How can I set a directory in a web
application to allow file uploads and read/write to an Access Database?

I replied to your other post above. See if that helps resolve this issue as well. Here is the MS KB
article again:

Thanks Paul, but that doesn't seem to fix my issue. My ASPNET application
seems to work just fine when published to this Windows 2003 server, its only
the File Upload and the write access needed for MS Access that displays this
"ASPNET needs Permission" error message. .Net 1.1 was installed
automatically when I installed IIS through the Add/Remove Programs console.
There must be some other way to allow permissions (i've even tried the IUSR
& IWAM accounts with no success). I'll keep searching. Thanks again.
