IFrame problem in aspx page

dotnet jscript:

Hi
I'm using win2000, .Net 1.1, IE 6.
My 'main.aspx' page contains an IFrame that is in turn another 'calendar.aspx' page
When I try to invoke the Iframe (calendar.aspx), from main.aspx, in the developement environment, everything works fine
However in production environment, some users can invoke the IFrame without error, and some other users cannot
Their browser display that there is an error in its status bar; Double click the error, it says: "Access denied" on the page 'calendar.aspx'

I tried to debug the error on the client .(View-->Script Debugger-->Break at Next statement
When I step through the code in the script debugger, the Iframe invoked succefully, but when I try to run it again without debugging it failed

I assigned both accounts; 'everyone' and 'ASPNET' full control on this file, and on the parent folder and still getting the same error message

thanks for hel

Hello,

I am not vey clear about what you mean "invoke", is it to access some
components in the frame through client Jscript? If so, are main.aspx and
calendar.aspx is in same virtual folder? When a client failed with such a
error, will it always failed with a web form with Ifame or only with the
particular 'main.asp"?

Hi Luke
Here is more detail about the problem
both page: main.aspx and calendar.aspx are in the same virtual and physical folder

C: ... .... wwwroot --> folderParent--> folderChil

'main.aspx' and 'calendar.aspx' are in folder 'folderChild

main page structure

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="main.aspx.vb" Inherits="myProject.main" %><html
... .... ..... (ususal html tag & code

<IFRAME SRC="calendar.aspx" STYLE="DISPLAY:none;Z-INDEX:100;WIDTH:100px;POSITION:absolute;HEIGHT: 100px" ID="calframe" ></IFRAME><form method="post" runat="server"
... .... ..... (some html code
<IMG onclick="PositionCalendar();" src="cal.gif"
... .... ..... (some html code
</form><script language="javascript"
function PositionCalendar()
( some javascript code to position the calendar (IFrame) in a specified position
... .... ..... .....
(and those last 2 lines to set some control on the calendar to some values)
parent.document.frames("calframe").document.calendarForm.calendarTextBox1.value=someValue
parent.document.frames("calframe").calendarForm.calendarTextBox2.value=someValue

</script></html>

Calendar.aspx structure

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="Calendar.aspx.vb" Inherits="myProject.Calendar" %><html
... .... .....
<form id="calendarForm" method="post" runat="server"><input type=text name='calendarTextBox1'><input type=text name='calendarTextBox2'><asp:Calendar id=...... .... ...

... .... ..... (some usual html tag and code

</form></html

and here what is happening
when 'main.aspx' page load, ('calendar.apx' is supposed to load automaticaly since it's contained in an IFrame on main.aspx), at this point, no error happens and the status bar of IE 6.0 does not display any error
When I click on the image that position the calendar on the page, make it visible, and in the same time, write some values on 'calendar.aspx' , IE status bar display 'Error occured'

Now,
some end users do not get this error and the IFrame get visible on their page and every thing work fine, while with some other user, the IFRAME don't get visible on their page and IE status bar display the mentioned error

If I try to step through the code on the USER MACHINE THAT GET THE ERROR, through ... ... Break at Next statement ... ...., when I step through each line of code, every thing works fine and no error is generated at all, but if I let IE run without debugging, the IFRAME do not get visible and the error happens again

When I click The error in the status bar for more detail, it only says : 'Access denied'
I beleived that the error happens when 'main.aspx' try to write someValues on 'calendar.aspx', therefore I granted full control to 'ASPNET' and 'EVERYONE' account, on 'folderParent' level and 'folderChild' level, but that didn't solve the problem

And I'm wondering, if it's a permissions problem, why some users have this error and some others not ??

Thank you for your hel
