Hi, Rob. That's a nice approach, however, how do you justify security hole, that you regularly open? You must configure IIS to allow parent paths, obviously. What would guard your system from hacker going just one more level up the hierarchy?
May be there's a way to map a virtual directory to every web site, using TCF repository? Sincerely, Andre Rekhtine Sr.IS Consultant, MCSE Moveable Online Inc.
