Failed to start monitoring changes to [...] because access is denied 

I figured it was because I had shared the page and IIS must not like that, so I unshared it expecting that to resolve the issue — it did not. From there I dug through many pages of Google results all telling me to make sure the files weren’t marked Read Only and to make sure the ASPNET user had permissions. Interestingly enough such a user did not exist on my machine, possibly due to a different version of IIS or the fact that I do not have Visual Studio.net installed on that system.

It wasn’t until I compared permissions with another web folder that still worked that I spotted the difference. One had permission granted access to “Authenticated Users” and given it Modify permissions. After following these steps I was once again able to serve pages:

1. Right Click the Virtual Directory in IIS
2. Click “Edit Permissions…”
3. Select the Security Tab
4. Click the Edit button
5. Click the Add button
6. Type “Authenticated Users” †
7. Click the Check Names button to ensure that it recognizes the name
8. Click OK
9. Ensure the Modify checkbox is checked
10. Click OK until all remaining popup windows are closed

† If a name is not recognized it will pop up a “Name Not Found” box, whereas if it is recognized it will prefix it with your computer name and underline it (e.g.: fettesps\username).
If Authenicated Users is not recognized as a user, try ASPNET instead, which is what most guides suggested (but did not work for me).

After making these changes you should now be able to access your site again. If not, please consult Microsoft’s Knowledge Base article for more possible solutions.

This script is written in ASP 3.0, and it set up to work with an Access database, however it is quite easy to make it work with any other database. You can easily Add, Edit or Delete records, as well as Cut, Copy and Paste through drag and dropping. Very handy little script, and very well written.

Last summer I spent countless hours trying to write a datagrid script like this, from scratch. It was a feature I was accustomed to in ASP.net and could not find a prewritten script anywhere… and believe me I tried. I finally gave up on writing my own, due to the issue that I was running low on time and knew that I could just use ASP.net to make one. However almost a year later I find myself stumbling upon something I had searched so hard to find… Go figure.

So in case I find myself needing this again, or some visitor of this site should like to make use of it, here is the link.
