  Uploading and accessing documents from a fileshare Reply Contact We have recently built an application in Visual Studio and using DevExpress, and part of that application is required to load a file (just a word or excel doc) which it accesses from a fileshare.  We keep getting a permission denied on the fileshare - even though all the appropriate accounts and groups seem to have full access.  Does anyone know of anything in the IIS settings that needs to be especially configured for the application to be able to perform this sort of task.  We're pretty sure the problem is in IIS, not the app code.  We're on a Windows NT network.

  Re: Uploading and accessing documents from a fileshare Reply Contact As its a web application you have developed which is trying to access/load a file from a fileshare, the web site IUSR should have alteat read/execute permissions on that file other wise you will get a access denied error message while browsing the application. Make sure IUSR have read/execute permissions on the corresponding file it is trying to access. Gabriel ---------------- ASP .NET - MSSQL WebHosting My Hosting Solution Blog
