I think this may be the problem. I just created a test html page with a
link to the file hard-coded and get a 404 error when I click on the
link.

Now I've just got to work out the ramifications of making IIS run as a
network user.

Checking the services ...
World Wide Web Publishing Service depends on
IIS Admin Service which depends on
Protected Storage
Remote Procedure Call
and then
FTP, SMTP and NNTP depend on IIS Admin Service

I can't change the logon for WWW without changing IIS Admin (I think).
At this point I stopped playing in case I bring down the company
Exchange service.

With M$ reputation for security I guess I'll need to do some deep
investigation to find out just what sort of network user account I'll
have to create and what privileges will be required to at least try and
keep things secure - unless you have any hints, links etc.

Thanks,
Alan
