Walkthrough: Creating a Web Page to Display Access Database Data

I've started the above walkthrough. However, near the beginning it gives
the following instructions

To set permissions in the App_Data folder
In Windows Explorer, move to the root folder for the Web site.

The default location for your new Web site is c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\AccessSampl e.

If the App_Data folder does not already exist, create one.

By default, Visual Web Developer creates the folder when you create a new
Web site.

Right-click the App_Data folder, click Properties, and then click the
Security tab.

My problem is that there is no security tab. The other tabs - general,
sharing,web sharing and customize are there.

By the way, the folder is in the iis folder, and my iis is correctly
configured.

Are you using simple file sharing ?
If you are, turn it off, so the security tab shows.

Nowhere in the walkthrough is there a choice or step of selecting simple file
sharing. I certainly don't mean to. I simply open up a folder in the
localhost folder, nd within that folder there is app_data. The walkthrough
says the security tab should show, but it doesnt.

This is asp.net 2.0, not 1.1; could that make the difference?

Hi Dennist,

Not very sure about the walkthrough's complete context... I think the
security setting here means the NTFS permission setting. And for IIS6, in
the IIS manager (inetmgr), we can right click a directory and choose the
"permission s" menu item in the menu, then the NTFS security setting dialog
will popup. Is this the things you're looking for?

re:

The security tab is an operating system feature, not an ASP.NET one.

I assumed you were using Windows XP. Are you ?

I figured as much. That's a well-known problem in XP Pro.

To disable simple file sharing for Windows XP :

1. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
3. In the Advanced Settings section,
clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box.
4. Click OK.

Now, check if the security tab is there.
I don't remember if a reboot is needed, but if it is, reboot and then check.

Be careful with adding/removing permissions after you disable simple
file sharing, though, at least until you've learned what you're doing, OK ?

You can *reall* cause havoc if you take away the wro0ng permissions,
or if you open up your system too much by giving unneeded users
permissions over your file system.

Worked like a charm. Didn't have to reboot. However, I;m in a quandry. Who
do I give the rights to?

dennist685?
Administrator - how do I know if iis or sqlserver recognizes me as the
administrator?

I have sqlserver set as mixed authentificatio n - e.g. windows - dennist685
is the only user, and a name and password, which is dennist685 plus my
password.

Thanks for the reply, Steven,

I don't know if what you propose is what I'm looking for. How do I find
inetmgr, and once finding it, how do I click a directory? Or do I click a
directory first.

Hi Dennist,

I've noticed yours session with Juan. Actually the things I mentioend is
targeting windows 2003 server/ IIS6, where we can directly manage the
file/folder's NTFS permission in IIS manager ( inetmgr.exe). we can just
launch it through:

start--->Run:

Type "inetmgr.ex e"
