In the code below I'm trying to create a directory. It works on the
production server, but it doesn't on my dev server; I'm running XP Pro, but
I don't belong to a domain; I'm running it in a workgroup instead. I've
enabled the write option in IIS on the directory.
Because I'm not in a domain, there's no security tab on the property dialog
for the folder in Windows Explorer, so I can't assign IUSR access right
there. Do you have any suggestions to give access rights?
Maybe the failure on my machine is not access rights, but something else,
because on the production server, before I was granted permission, I got an
access rights denied browser error message, but on my machine, there was no
error message; the browser just hangs on the CreateFolder command.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

sPath = Server.MapPath( "\") & "\app\test"
Set fso = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")
If not(fso.FolderE xists(sPath)) Then
Set f = fso.CreateFolde r(sPath)
Response.write( f.Path)
end if 4 1806

Ray,
Thanks for your reply to my posting.
I did have Norton Anti Virus Script Blocking turned on.
Turning it off, I now get the "Access Denied" error message.
so, the next step is for me to figure out how to allow write permissions to
the app.
thanks, Bren

Make sure that IUSR_computerna me, assuming a default configuration, has NTFS
permissions to create a directory in the location you're trying to create
it.

Thanks again Ray.
For me, the solution to the permission problem was to open the property
dialog of the directory into which the app page would be creating
directories, on the sharing tab, share the directory and "allow network
users to change my files"
This enables the IUSR account, which is a member of Guests by default, to
write to the directory and create folders.

the CreateObject works fine.
the FolderExists works fine... I tested this out by giving it a folder that
does not exists too
working fine means, I get response within a moment or two.
but when I use GetFolder, IE takes about 30 seconds to go half way on the
progress bar, then hangs
Also, I do get notified from Norton that something is trying to do go out.

Steps to reproduce the error:

Hello,
I have been searching for what createfolder can return or does return.
Where on MSDN can I find what a MS method returns? I have searched for
filesystemobject.createfolder errors, error codes, error, etc. and cannot
find what it returns. The syntax document for the method on MSDN doesn't
list what it returns.
I need to know what the method can return so I can handle exceptions.
