Hi all,
My Asp.Net application gives System.UnauthorizedAccessViolation exception
when It tries to write a word document to a special folder I created for
storing word documents. It says ASPNET account does not have write access to
the folder. How can I give the ASPNET account the write access to this
folder?

Thanks.
 
Hi Curt,
Thanks for the reply. But I don't have security tab. I am using Windows
XP. I have General, Sharing, Web Sharing and Customize tabs.
 
Hi,

You can set the security of the folder in Windows Explorer. Right-click it,
choose "Properties" and go to the "Security" tab. Then add the ASPNET user
(or the user with which the worker process executes - see in Task Manager
the column User Name for the w3wp.exe or aspnet_wp.exe process depending on
the windows and framework version, or the impersonated user if you use
impersonation) and give it the appropriate rights for the folder.

Hope this helps
Martin
 
Hi Nicole,
After disabling simple file sharing I was able to give write access to
ASPNET. Thanks for your help.
