saving an XML document

i am using an XML configuration file for a menu on my website. I want to be able to write changes to the file from a page on the site, but i keep on getting an "Access Violation" when I try to write to disk.

I have setup the directory to allow write access from the IIS configuration.

Any help would be greatly apprectiated!

Thanks, Rich

Make sure you have permissions to write. Check int the IIS console if write permissions are set. Also, if you are using a server OS with NTFS file system, check the security options for the directory you want to write to.

thanks for your input..

it just so happens that i have figured out how to do it in the meanwhile:

as you said, it is important to have the settings correct in IIS. also, you have to set the directory permissions for the IUSR_<computername> account to allow writing.

The IUSR_<comptuername> account is the internet guest account used when someone logs into your IIS server.
