Hi,

I've gone through several configuration settings to solve
my problems, but I seem to be chasing my own tail.

What I'd like to do is 1) let ASP.NET have the privilege
to create and delete temp directories and 2) let ASP.NET
launch Excel to write out files.

What I've done thus far: provide ASP.NET modify permission
to the directory into which the temp directories will go.
This solves the first problem. I've turned on
impersonation in the local Web.config file without
specifying a user id or password. This works only for
me. Everyone else has no permission. This isn't very
useful.

I modified impersonation to: <identity impersonate="true"
userName="fictional" password="fantasy"/>. The page now
tells me that the user doesn't have privileges when I
visit the page.

My questions are: 1) How can I solve my two problems? 2)
prior to having to create temp directories and launching
Excel, no one has had to enter their login id and
password, now it's asking for login and password for every
roundtrip and on top of that, deny them access.

I'm thoroughly confused.

Thanks for the clarifications,
Paul
