saving changes in web.config

[Tyler]

I am making a change programatically to web.config. That code works fine.
However when I try to save web.config i get the "Access to the path
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\xxx\web.config" is denied. I have given permission to
the IUSR_MACHINENAME and the ASPNET acccount. I am not using impersonation
and I am running IIS 5.1.

Is there something about web.config that won't allow me to save changes
programatically?

Thanks for your help,

Thanks Michael. I am embarrassed to say that I only had read and execute
checked. I thought it was set correctly, but it was not. Thanks for your
help.
