What am i doing wrong? At my site the events.asp mod is working against the database, but my regular forum isn't. When I go the forum is says "must be updatable query" but when I go to events.asp it works fine. What is the difference. I have my data folder set to read/write permission.

you need to give read/write and Modify rights to the DB directory for the IUSR_DOMAIN account.

this is beacuse access creates a lock file which it must be able to modify.

Does that mean that people are going to be able to browse my directory and download the database? How do I protect it? Thanks for your help on this! Coooooooooool.

it shouldn't do no, but to be on the safe side, give your db a name people are unlikely to guess.

Ok, so I uploaded the database using Frontpage and it created the folder "fpdb". The database is in there. I changed the config.asp file to point to it, but it is doing the same thing! Still saying "must be updatable query...". I thought front page set up all the permissions for me?? What else should I do?

Can someone please help me with this? I am still having the same problem. I imported the database using Frontpage and it created the directory. THen I gave the IUSR_domain the read/write/modify but I still must be doing something wrong. I am using IIS 5.0. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to create a folder to hold my database? I would really appreciate that so much. Thank you.

Make sure the IUSR_computername account has change permissions to the file and the folder. Check that the file isn't marked read-only on disk. It sounds like the file permissions are still incorrect. If you have another mdb file in the folder and it is working, look at it's permissions.
