using my own win2k adv server, iis5.0, fpe, fp2000 to create web pages,
running as intranet on my lan now for developement and testing
i'm an experienced programmer but new to web programming

when i publish a web from fp2000 to a virtual website i created with iis,
part of the directory structure it creates is
...\inetpub\wwwroot\webname\_private\ and there's a bunch of other folders
under \webname\

the _private folder is usually used (default) if your fp2000 webpage is
collecting data in a form and you specify a text file to receive it. ok that
works fine
then i created an asp routine that trys to write user collected data to a
file in that same _private directory but i get a permission denied when
trying to create/open the file for writing???? asp is somehow running under
another account other than iis account for webaccess?
is there a generally accepted folder structure within iis for use by asp,
and how do you set the permissions/sharing etc on it???
what process/user does asp run under?
