1. There is no one correct hard-coded answer. It has always depended on the
identity your code uses to modify Access database. It can depend on
authentication. It can also depend on components that you use. Please read
this URLs for additional details:

2. IIS6 does not come with any upload component (there are many existing
ones already), and no need to rebuild the wheel. I searched with keywords
"upload.asp avis7@airmail.net" to find one that has worked on IIS6 -- I'm
not endorsing, warrantying, nor guaranteeing any of it -- just pointing you
to some possibilities.

3. FAQ. CDONTS.DLL is not supported on WS03 but will run on it. People have
also created simple "wrappers" that allow you to use CDO.SYS properly
without changing much code. And SMTP configuration should be the same as
before. Kristofer has got a great site about all things SMTP/POP/CDO, so I
suggest you read the following URL (and others on his website) to understand
how to secure your SMTP server:

I transfered an intranet site from a winnt IIS4 system to a win2003 IIS6
system. Static pages work fine but some ASP pages have errors or
settings that need to be resolved. Here are my questions:

1. What are the IIS6 related accounts and folder permissions for the
following type of folder situations

*dbfolder, not web shared where access databases files are stored and
used as backed databases. In IIS4 the accounts IUSER_machine and
IWAM_machine had change/modify permissions on the folder.

*virtualfolder, web shared (not part of the home directory).

2. Does IIS6 come with any asp file upload component? I have used ABC
Upload in IIS4. Its specs don't include win2003? Any suggestions?

3. In IIS4 I had the smtp service enabled and various ASP pages could
send mail with CDONTS. How do enable SMTP in IIS6? Can I install
CDONTS.dll for use with win2003/IIS or CDO will work?

Thanks in advance.
