RE: Failed access to IIS metabase problem - Can anyone help please

Hi Stephen,

I am experiencing the same error message with my own application, and am
finding the information at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904 mostly
useless.

I have been advised by co-workers that it sounds like a permission problem
and that I need to grant access to the folder where the .aspx file I am
trying to browse occurs.

However, I am not having much success with this approach yet. If you have a
breakthrough I would be interested to hear how you solved it. If I solve it I
will let you know how.

Best of luck,

Mike
