[thelist] Permission denied error using ASP's FileSystemObject

Hi all,

I'm getting a 'Permission denied' error when using the OpenTextFile part of
ASP's FileSystemObject.  The line in question is below:

set fname2 =
fs2.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("..\headlines\include_headlines_recent.htm"),2
,true)

the funny thing is that the page works fine when browsing locally
(http://localhost/), but chokes when I run it from a machine (running win98,
IE5) accross the network. I've read that the user 'IUSR_<machine_name>' must
have read and write access to the folder, but if the page works locally, why
not accross the network.

TIA,

Craig.
