I am new to ASP.net development. I have just completed
converting a desktop MS Access 2002 application to an
ASP.net web app. So far, everything is working great. I
use Visual Studio DotNet. I also have created a web
setup installer using the web setup project template in
VS. The installer works fine also.

However, I need to set privilages for one subfolder
(which contains only 1 file, an Access DB .mdb file) to
allow all users write privilages to the DB file. FYI,
the app will eventually be hosted on a WinSvr2003 box,
and will be available via "anonymous access". It looks
like, from the VS help files documentation, that I need
to add a section in the web.config file, such as...

<location path="FolderX">
      <system.web>

(what do I add here ???)
                  
      </system.web>
</location>

However, I cannot figure out what to add between the
system.web tags (assuming I am correct re where to add
this config info).

I would like the installer to take care of this; but
currently, I have to set the file access manually (after
installing) to "everyone" = "write" on the .mde file's
properties/security tab.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
