My app runs fine in development - but when I move the database to a network share that has permissions set so that only administrators have access it stops working. I have changed the ODBC connections to point to the new location.
What permissions do I need to add to the share so that it will work? The dbase is in access, the share is on a Network Aplliance file server - so the permissions are set using domain user level security.

Those darn IT folk that love to lock down the world and make it inconvenient to the rest of us.
I assume that it is a MsAccess db
Access requires modify/read&execute/list folder contents/read/write
Login as that domain user and see if you can open up that db in regular MS access and update a row in a table. If you can, then you want to make sure that the user on the webserver that maps to that directory can also do it.

Yes, the Web users are anonymous and therefore they cannot run your Web programs as an administrator and connect to a database as an administrator. Instead, they are executing Web applications as Web Server user, which is usually "IUSR_xyz" or "ASPNET", depending on which programming language you use. You probably will need to setup similar permissions as shown at http://support.yessoftware.com/kb_article.asp?article_id=4
I'm actually not sure if this will work, while there could be some other methods to go about this, like changing some IIS settings so that IIS runs as an administrator. Do some researching on Google:
