asp_database_setup thread: Re: Data Source Name not found.


Message #1 by "Jon Wilson" <jon.wilson@e...> on Tue, 14 Aug 2001 08:32:54

Go to Internet Services Manager in Administrative Tools, and expand your

web site. In the right hand side of the screen you should see a list of

files in the site. Right click on the required file and select properties.

Click the file security tab and Anonymous access settings are available in

there.



Hope this helps.
