Hi, We have a SharePoint list which is called on a publishing page using DVWP. all works fine when the list is provided contribute access. But when we change the list access to Read, the user starts getting access denied on the publishing page where the DVWP web part is added. I am not able to figure where the issue. We have given Read access to all over the site but still facing the issue. Please help. Many thanks in advance.Manish

Hi Manish, Although Read access is set - please verify the underlying permission level settings. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-sharepoint-services-help/permission-levels-and-permissions-HA010100149.aspx hth,Chirag Patel, MCTS @techChirag techChirag.com
