The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Access is denied when I try to save data to XML Document that has write permission on the folder

Asked by thamilto0410 in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: , ,

I have read all the threads about saving node changes back to an xml file but my problem is a little different.  I am loading an XML file using XML Dom into a table with a checkbox to choose a node  that needs to be modified which then forwards the data to a form.  The user makes the changes and submits to the code below .  And before going forward I did release all references to the xml object.

     'Instantiate the Microsoft XMLDOM.
        Set objDom = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.Domdocument.4.0")
         call objDom.setProperty("ServerHTTPRequest", true)  
         objDom.preserveWhiteSpace = True
         objDom.async = false  
       
     'Call the Load Method of the XMLDOM Object.
     call objDom.Load (server.MapPath("..") & "location of xml file")
               
If objDom.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
Response.Write "There was an error loading the xml file!<br>"
Else
Response.Write "XML loaded.<br>"
End If
'Get values from form
 for each variable_name in request.form
if variable_name <> "strEditSubmit" then      
   
   Set objNode = objDom.documentElement.selectSingleNode(variable_name)
    If objNode is Nothing then
         response.write("There is no node" & "<br>")
      else
      if objNode.Text <> request.form(objNode.NodeName&"_oldvalue") then
          objNode.Text = request.form(variable_name)
          objDom.Save server.MapPath("..") & "path to xml file"
         end if
      end if
From the above I get an accessed denied error.  There is nothing wrong with the folder. It has write permission set and it is working as I can write to other files in that same folder.  In addition if I make a copy of the above referenced file being loaded and rename it and reference the renamed file  the above code works perfectly and writes to the renamed file.  I have read many threads on experts exchange but I haven't found one like this.  I am very new to XML so please be patient.  
 I am doing something wrong but WHAT?
