"Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046) Permission denied"

[edgy]

Hi everybody

I am getting "Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046) Permission denied" error at

Code:

set file = fs.OpenTextFile(fileName, openMethod, true)
I have given permission IUSR_<computername> user to read/modify the directory by adding it to the security tab. I have even given permission to Everyone but still I am getting the same error.

What gives........

Hi

Tell me what open method are you using?

The options are ForReading and ForAppending.

You also might want to verify the file has received the correct IUSR permissions from the directory.

Good advice timon, i'm thinking your second suggestion is probably hitting the nail on the head. Edgy, if you change your permissions on a directory in the security tab, you will also need to click the "advanced" button and choose the option to "allow permissions from this object to propegate to objects within this directory" or some other similarly worded microsoft-ese jargon. Sometimes just changing the permissions of a directory will leave the current file permissions intact on files contained within the folder.
