I am making a change programatically to web.config. That code works fine.
However when I try to save web.config i get the "Access to the path
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\xxx\web.config" is denied. I have given permission to
the IUSR_MACHINENAME and the ASPNET acccount. I am not using impersonation
and I am running IIS 5.1.

Is there something about web.config that won't allow me to save changes
programatically?

Thanks for your help,
 
Hello Tyler,

What kind of permition did you gave? For writing?

Thanks Michael. I am embarrassed to say that I only had read and execute
checked. I thought it was set correctly, but it was not. Thanks for your
help.
