Web service folder creation error

[AvatarZA]

Hi,

I have an ASP.Net web service which needs to create folders on a server (dynamically). I keep on getting a "Cannot find part of path…" error (access denied?) when the web service attempts to make changes to a folder, i.e. create or delete a sub folder.

I have given the machine's ASPNET user account full control over the parent folder. This works when I do this through a normal ASP.Net web application, but whenever the web service does it, it fails. Does the web service run under another account? Is there any settings in the machine.config that would prevent this from working?

Thanks ahead.
Cheers T
