Hi,

I'm getting the same error. I have it working fine on a Windows 2000
server, but I get the same error Matthew does when I do the same thing on
Windows 2003.

ASPNET was not running but I tried ASPNET as well (with both read and full
access) and the same error. I also tried to give permissions to all of the
users of the running processes and still had the same error. I tried
