i am writing a code for export data to excel, it is working smooth on
windows 2000 platform.

After I upload to windows 2003 server, FileInfo object always has problem:

the FileInfo object can't access and always return "Access is denied"
but i grant ASP.NET has write and modify permission and problem still here

Any one know any major differents with Win2000 and Win2003
any special item I need to take care on windows 2003??

Thanks in advanced.

yes - on Windows2003 ASP.NET runs under NETWORK SERVICE by default - and
not ASPNET

Yes, on the file's properties, go to the security tab and add network service.

If the file is on another machine, then the NETWORK SERVICE is seen as the
account for the host machine that the web app is running on.

Here's a link to the subject. Look at the section 'System Accounts':

Hope this helps
