IIS and Access on home computer

[Jon]

Like most here, I guess, I trial my asp / database web sites on my home
based machine before they go live.

Are there any settings (Win XP Pro / Access XP) I can set to allow me to
have the database open in MS Access AND be able to access the data via my
web pages?

Thanks

Jon

Yes. Give the IUSR and IWAM accounts read/write permission on the folder
containing the database.

Make sure you turn off simple file sharing per the last paragraph in the
article.
