I am trying to run web wiz forum on IIS on Win XP Pro. This is probably a simple problem but i cant write to the database, it reads no problem. So if i want to log in or view a post i am given an error (for reading a post the following error is recieved:

Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while writing to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_Access_update_no._views
File Name:- forum_posts.asp

Error details:-
Microsoft JET Database Engine
Operation must use an updateable query.

Its probably a config problem, any ideas?

This is a permissions problem.

You need to set, read, write, and modify permissions on the folder the database is in.

Please see ../asp/faq/server_permissions.asp - Checking and Setting up the Correct Permissions on the IIS Web Server
