Permissions problem?

[B. Chernick]

I have a web app installed on a server. I created another directory on the
same machine to hold FoxPro 6 files.

Based on my reading, I gave the ASP.Net Machine account full control over
the directory and the files.

This still does not work. The app can read the tables ok, but any attemp to
update them results in:

Cannot update the cursor ORD, since it is read-only.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about
the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Cannot update the
cursor ORD, since it is read-only.

Suggestions?

After some trial and error, I believe I have solved my own problem. I was
able to update a table when I gave the 'Network Service' account full control
of the data directory.

Disclaimer: I have very little training or experience in network admin and
the sysadmins are convinced that the servers will catch fire if I so much as
touch a network setting.

So please feel free to correct this.
