It was a basic 403.1 error message, access denied. It was
only occurring on ASP pages, not html. I took Karls
advice and did a search on the permissions the IWAM
account needed and set them all as per the IISFAQ site
instructions and the problem is now fixed. I guess this
account is given the right permissions in IIS5, but IIS6
does not set these permissions for its higher level of
security.
Cheers
