Iis Windows Xp

[Jzee]

HI ALL,

I'VE JUST REINSTALLED WINDOWS XP ON MY COMPUTER, INSTALLED IIS AND MS OFFICE XP. I ALSO INSTALLED F-SECURE CLIENT SECURITY. WHEN I CREATE A DATABASE USING ACCESS I CANNOT UPDATE THE TABLES WITH ASP PAGES BECAUSE IT GIVES ME THE FOLLOWING ERROR: CANNOT UPDATE DATABASE OR OBJECT IS READ-ONLY. WITH OTHER MACHINES I CAN RIGHT CLICK ON THE .MDB FILE AND SET THE SECURITY SETTINGS AND THEN IT WORKS BUT ON MY MACHINE IF I RIGHT CLICK ON THE FILE, THE SECURITY TAB IS NOT PRESENT.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

JULIAN

Check your permissions on the local machine. You may find that you are a local administator on all the others but not this one

Or maybe the access db that you're trying to modify, was made with a different version of the app.

Also, no need to shout in capital letters, we can hear you.....

You may need to disable simple file sharing in order to have the security tab appear.

OK, I am the local administrator on this machine and I've created it with the same app. But my problem is probably the simple file sharing...How do I disable simple file sharing?

Thank you

[Jzee]

Alright, you don't have to worry about the simple file sharing, I found it. Thank you very much.

Guys, it's still not working! Even though I disable the simple file sharing it doesn't show the security tab. I need to share the mdb file for the IIS users so that it's able to update the data. Any more ideas???

When you reinstalled Windows did you use NTFS

For anyone who is still unclear about Simple File Sharing, it can be dis/enabled from the Folder Options dialog (Tools menu in My Computer or Windows Explorer).

The only other thing I can think of is jpatto's suggestion. Is the file you are trying to set permissions on stored on a drive that is formatted with the NTFS file system? FAT-32 partitions do not allow for security to be set at the file level.

The security tab might not also be present if the file is on a server. Do you have Sharing options or just General & Customize when you do properties on the folder? You might need to add that user to the user database on the server machine or join the domain.
