FileSystemObject problems

[Stimp]

This is a query to do with classic ASP (written through vbscript).

I am trying to run an asp page on my local Windows 2000 machine which
creates a folder in the root directory of my site, but when I run the
page it
simply hangs when it gets to the FileSystemObject folder creation part
(when I remove this line of code, the rest of the page works fine)

The code is fine because it is working on the live server, so the
problem is with the PERMISSIONS on my local Windows 2000 server.

I've set ALL folders from wwwroot upwards with FULL rwx access for ALL
users.. plus I've added the IUSR_(machinename) to this list with full
access. I've did this through Explorer.

I've run out of ideas on where else to set permissions... anyone got any
ideas??

Thanks!
Peter

Are you sure it's PERMISSIONS?

gah.. forgot about that. It's been 5 years since I've had to set up a pc
to run scripts and forget all the small settings that I had to agonise
over originally.

Thanks!
