Karl,

There's no error message, the credentials box just comes back blank.
Auditing is enabled for this directory, but nothing shows up in the
event log.

I worked around the problem by creating a new directory for this file
and assigning the security rights at the directory level. Suddenly the
.asp page and the .htm page can both be browsed with the appropriate
credentials. I guess there is some odd behaviour when using NTFS
permissions at the file level that are different from the directory
containing that file. Another "undocumented feature"...
