John,
The web service is actually using session state (I'm not entirely sure why
as I didn't write the service...in fact I didn't write any of it, I'm just
the luck SOB who got the job of debugging it and finishing it off) and of
course the web application is also using session state.
I have even added a separate web.config file to the folder containing the
files I'm trying to get to that explicitly sets the session state settings
(not that I need to do that) but also overrides the authenticaton and
authorization settings to use Windows authentication (impersonate is set to
true) and to allow all users - all to no avail.
Interestingly, if I disable session state for the web application the home
page still displays as it is not reliant on session at all, but when I
navigate to a page that uses session state the error I receive is the 404 -
Not Found error. Your previous reply and this is what prompted me to try
the separate config files.
I've also set the cookieless element of the sessionState setting to true but
that too makes no difference.
Any further suggestions ?
Thanks for all your help so far.
Regards,
Cameron Gibbs
