Hello, I have downloaded latest version of web wiz forum on my XP(Using IIS 5.1) machine.I have created seperate directory for the databse and given it permission as stated by by Forum installation guide.(IUSER read and write permission). WHen I try to for example create a category or do anything that leads to calls recordset Addnew method I get an error - Microsoft JET Datbase Engine (0x80040E09) Cannot update .Databse or object is read only.
I have downloaded another discussion forum , and placed its databse in the same directory, it works fine.On going through the code, I found it uses Update or Insert sql methods. PLease ifd anybody have any suggestion do tell me |

This is a permissions error. Check your permissions for the IUSR account on the directory and make sure you have, read, write, and delete, permissions. The delete permisisons are sometimes needed to delete the database lock file after an update. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hello, I have now given full control permission to the IUSR, I am still getting the same problem. The other discussion whose dabase is lying in the directory is working fine.

Right-click on the .mdb file and check the properties. -------------
