Edition - Need to make file writable

Gregg Faus

Knowing that editions are only read-only copies of a website, is it possible to make certain files writable so that the website can function properly? I'm letting clients preview their website by have them view an edition. But when I have applications that need to write to text or XML files I cannot have clients seeing write errors. Basically the file needs to be writable in order for the app to work properly (e.g. saving data to xml)

So, it is possible to make an edition file (even staging) writable? I've tried using windows explorer to uncheck the read-only attribute and even looked at CLT's. Anyone have a suggestion or am I out of luck?

System: Win2k/TS5.01 sp2

Thanks.
