FileSystem Object Delete Files (from collection) Problem

[mmguru]

Hopefully someone on here can help me. I'm trying to use the FileSystemObject to delete any existing files from a predefined folder. I've looked in the archives and found related solutions but nothing quite like my problem. I've using the code listed at bottom but every time I run it I get the following error from my server:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'

Permission denied

/sorenwest_demo/admin_user.asp, line 446


I have checked the permissions on the server and they are as follows:

(Folder Level Settings in IIS)
SCRIPT SOURCE ACCESS
read checked
write checked
Scripts Only

DIRECTORY SECURITY
Anonymous Access
Account User for Anonymous Access - > IUSR_<computername>
Allow IIS to Control Password


I've played around with all these settings with no luck. Here is my script:

*********************

Case &quot;delete&quot;

'declare variables
Dim objFSO,objFolder,strPhysicalPath,strPath
Dim objCollection,objItem

'set the folder path (hard coded for now)
strPath = &quot;./folders/folder8/&quot;

'create the filesystemobject
strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath (strPath)
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject (&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder (strPhysicalPath)

'delete files in folder
Set objCollection = objFolder.Files

For Each objItem in objCollection
'the first line below works, the second produces a permissions error
response.write (objItem.name & &quot;<BR>&quot
objItem.delete
Next

**************

Thanks in advance folks,
Carlos

Perhaps the file is marked READ-ONLY in which case you need
objItem.delete true

OK, basically you need to check the NTFS permissions on your folder, and makes sure that IUSR_ComputerName has got both read and write access to the folder in which the files you want to delete exist. -GTM Solutions, Home of USITE-
