Hi, I'm trying to set this up, Clear IP & Cookie Blocks work, but on submission of Vote I get this error message: Can not write [app.data] (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ARCC\NEW\Fixed\polls/app.data/demo-your-first-poll.def/votes.txt) (Could not get the lock!)

I can see in IIS the app.data folder does not have write privileges, but I don't know who/which group to give write permission to. Pretty darn sure I don't want to give IUSR or IIS_IUSR write privileges to anything?

Hi,

>Pretty darn sure I don't want to give IUSR or IIS_IUSR write privileges to anything?

Yes, you need to give read and write permissions to IUSR_(computer name) or IIS_IUSR on the app.data folder.
