IIS problem with Excel and C#

Here is the problem:
I have an IIS installed on my computer and a web site. When you click
on the button on that website, it should save excel file. If I do it,
it works fine ( but I'm an administrator on my own machine). If
someone else try that same thing (calling the web site through URL),
they get a message:
"Error: Microsoft Excel cannot access the file
'\\network_drive\some_folder'.
There are several possible reasons:
• The file name or path name does not exist.
• The file you're trying to open is being used by another program.
Close the document in the other program, and try again.
• The name of the workbook you're trying to save is the same as the
name of another document that is read-only. Try saving the workbook
with a different name.
Line: Microsoft Excel"
I presume there is a permission issue, but I don't know where to look.
I already have IIS on Integrated Windows authentication and web.config
file has <identity impersonate="true" />. Why am I the only one who
can do anything?
 
It's far more likely you'll get a quicker and better answer posting your
questions about IIS in an IIS-specific newsgroup rather than an Excel newsgroup.
I'd be willing to bet you'd have the same problem with Word files, in which case
this wouldn't be an Excel problem at all.

Try posting in microsoft.public.inetserver.iis .
