access denied... n00b question

[Grant Merwitz]

Check the Windows security settings on the folder that your XML file is in.
Try allow your ASPNET security access to that folder.

(i.e.
Through Windows FIle Explorer, right click on the folder and click
"sharing and security" - or properties
Click on the Security tab, and add your ASPNET user account ensuring to
allow it read/write access)

...i got this error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Access to the path
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\NewsServer\DBRelations\NewsServerBase.xml" is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\NewsServer\DBRelations\NewsServerBase.xml" is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider
granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity.
ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or
Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not
impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity
impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically
IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer,
choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the
appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the
boxes for the desired access.
