Hi David,
Thank you very much for hanging in there with me.
By now I can't even duplicate the problem I originally asked about. That's
because I subsequently "cracked the code" on creating WebForm apps:
When creating a new app via VS' File/New/Project, one need simply to change
the "WebApplication1" portion of the "Location". Having discovered that,
I've had no subsequent access-denied problem.
I confess, I didn't remedy my initial confusion by taking the "obvious" step
of click on the Help button.
My confusion, and perhaps other users' confusion could be avoided by a
modest change to the interface. This retired software engineer recommends
that Microsoft change the Name and Location fields to the following fields:
Base Location: Text Control initialized to http/local/host, read-only
Folder Name: DropDown Control, editable, initially blank, and browseable
only within the
http://localhost area
Project Name: TextControl, editable, initialized to "WebApplication1"
Project Location: Text Control, read-only, dynamically reflecting the
combination of Base Location, Folder Name and Project Name (the equivalent
of the current label control.)
I recognize the Microsoft has bigger fish to fry than this simple interface
change, but I immodestly thought I'd make the suggestion anyway.
Thanks again for your expert help.
Best wishes,
Richard

I wonder if you just have a bug in your VS.Net project file that has a path
of K:\ instead of UNC server name

Hi Annie,
Thanks for the reference. I didn't find an answer there, so I decided to
back to the "drawing board."
Previously, I had created my own virtual directory using IIS and then
created a new solution using the directory. That gave me access problems,
which I temporally solved by making the virtual directory for
Read/Write/Script/whatever. That solved my problem, though IIS warned me
that making the directory "wide open" was risky.
Today, I created a new project/solution by changing the virtual directory
name from http://localhost/WebApplication1 to
http://localhost/TestingWebAccess. After VS created the project, I
populated the window with a Label control and ran it. NO ACCESS PROBLEM!
Problem solved, at least for the moment. I don't like some of the
default
locations and in time I'll figure out how to relocate folders to my liking
without breaking anything, but at least I can get apps running!
Thanks again for your help.
Best wishes,
Richard

news:OJ**************@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... Hi All,
I generated a WebForm and created a Virtual Directory for it IIS. But I
got an error message (shown below) saying something like my app lacked
appropriate privileges.
David Wang replied to an earlier question about this issue, and he
informed me that I needed to include my UserID in the "VS Developers"
group in order to WebForm apps running under my account capable of
accessing \\server\wwwroot$.
That sounds like something I might be able to do on a server. However,
I'm doing WebForm development on WinXP-Pro/SP2 with IIS and FrontPage
installed (and FP integrated appropriately, I believe.) In addition I'm
running MSDE 2002 which claims it's using .Net Framework 1.0 (although
I'm sure I've got 1.1 installed ... maybe that's a key to my problem???)
I don't see anyway to add my account to VS Developers group. The
message
I got is:
=======================
The default Web access mode for this project is set to file share, but
the
project folder at http://localhost/MyVirtualProj cannot be opened with
the
path "K:\_Projects\WebForms\MyWebProj". The error returned was:
Unable to created Web project "MyVirtualProj". The UNC share
"K:\_Projects\WebForms\MyWebProj" does not exist or you do not have
access.
========================
Any further ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Richard
