Newbie and Error Msg

First, I apologize before hand for my ignorance. I inherited the responsibility of maintaining a website and making basic edits I've been able to handle. I have recently run into something I can't figure out though. I get this error message when clicking on a button that activates a script to add/edit parts of my site.
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied
/archive/editImage.asp, line 25

From this I can figure out it's a permission issue but since I'm able to do other functions when logged in using an admin name and password. Asked at the main screen you have either Guest access or admin access.

I know the script is editimage.asp
If I count every line including commented out lines... line 25 is "msg = "PASS: File deleted." - that doesn't seem like it would be causing this... so where would I look?

What lines would typically effect "permissions"

Thanks for the input.

P.S.
My boss has recently changed the overall administrative password to our webhosting site... could that be affecting it and how would I rectify if it is?

Sounds like a problem deleting a file. I think you're close, but not quite on the right line that threw the error.

To fix, you'll have to find out what folder is involved and add permissions to the account which is running your ASP application. So yes, it really sounds like that change of permissions caused this bug to pop up.

If you're going to do much of this work you'll probably want Dreamweaver or Visual Studio setup for debugging. And that's assuming that you have a local copy of the site to work on...

While happy to hear I'm on the right track... not happy because I have no way of knowing what my boss did to muck things up. I'll see what I can figure out regarding the disk permissions and see if that resolves it.

As for DW/VS... I have been using DW to do the edits but I can't seem to test my changes locally and upload upon approval. Our site is hosted off-site and was originally setup by someone else. Is it (should it) be as simple as copying the contents of our webserver down to a local drive and then testing... or is it likely the code is written specifically for working via the webserver?

What about this one... same thing???
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Operation must use an updateable query.
/archive/order.asp, line 157

I still can't find anything in the code that may fix this/these problems.
