I have a foxpro database that is being hit by a small .asp application to allow users to see a history of the training classes they have signed up for. The .asp files are stored at: e:/dirpath/tts/. The database is stored in a subdirectory of this at: e:/dirpath/tts/dbfiles/
The problem I have is that the database is open for users to type in the path to the foxpro files (if they happen to know the database file names) and download them. This is not a huge security risk, but one I want to alleviate anyway. I setup a completely separate directory structure on the database that is not under the umbrella of IIS to store the database. This still allows the .asp files to access the database, but doesn't allow users to type in the address.
HOWEVER, I can only get this solution to work with an Access DB. I get an error when I attempt it with a Foxpro DB!!
Can anybody help with this??
Thanks, Brinson
