permissions for IUSR on WinXP pro

[crabback]

Hi,

I am using Windows XP Pro and I have IIS 5 installed.

I have a web app that uses an access database. I keep getting the 'Operation must use an updateable query' error when I test updating the database on the live site - although it works perfectly on the localhost. I know this is to do with the permissions for my IUSR account, and that I should rightclick properties on the database folder and set IUSR as read/modify/write permissions.

My problem is when I right click properties on the database folder the properties window only has the following tabs - General/Sharing/WebSharing/Customized - none of which allow me to set the IUSR permissions.

My disk is formatted to FAT32. Is this the problem? Or is it something else that I am forgetting? Any help would stop me going crazy... Thanks

If your drive is formatted as FAT32, you will not see the Security tab you are looking for that will enable you to set the correct permissions for the IUSR account. FAT file systems do not provide the security features that an NTFS volume does. You will need to convert the file system to NTFS to gain this functionality.
