Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

This is a permissions error.  Make sure network service has full rights to images directory.

We did try that on one image directory, I think it was a sub directory.  We will double check the image directory.

Thanks for the help.

Skiltz meant \images\thumb directory

Thank you both for your help.  We did get it to work,

Appreciated. :)

Worked perfectly, thanks.

To change permissions I would have to go to my web host?

I am getting the same error, but oddly the path it is pointing to is the path on my local machine. ???  The error is on the published site at the host.  
Why is it looking on my local machine?  And how do I change that?
I published the site using Visual Studio 2008.

I am betting you need to modify your webconfig file to direct to the host DB and not the local host you tested it on.

Here is my issue.  I am thinking it is a permission error with my host?
