Hi, when My web host company runs my web site address in .net it gives the following message. Any ideas why? Thanks

Put a regular ASP (not aspx) in the same folder with only the following code and what does it say when you browse to it?:

<% Response.write(Server.Mappath(".")) %>

Done it and it shows e:\home\fmardani

Have your host add the ASP_NET user account to that directory. THey are most likely on NTFS permissions and your directory is not within the standard Web share for that IIS installation.

If they add the ASP_Net user, it should resolve it. Also, if you are using any DLLs, have them put EXECUTE permissions on that directory.
