I had in others directories db files and in the dir it wants open dbf files I thought it was that I have all modified in my app and no it is not. So I don't understand why it does this? Now I go to try to change all to put them in users/username/.....Like it was said to me,but it is a lot of work!!!! Have you any idea? I thank you very much for your help Patrick Back to top Mike Collins Guest Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 2:22 pm    Post subject: Re: Directoies with Vista Hay Patrick - it is not very clear from your post exactly what you problem is. Vista has some very strange and stringent enforcements of user permissions. As far as I know, it protects the Program File directly from non admin access so this throws up a whole host of problems that weren't previously there.

"Exemple" When I debud my app it can open and write in "Mes liasses" but not open the Exemple directory it sais "network error" or EDBEngine error My application creates directories too in tha application directory, but I can open to look for values in bdf file and save them but in other dll with (I think) the same code, I cant open the dbf files these files are in the directory creates by my application and in its own directory. Here I can understand that vista have some restrictions, but when I go to look in c:\Progpreso\Optiessai\ the directories are created and the good files but it don't want open these. I have the error have said to you. Too I don't understand where is the mistake my application works fine with XP. I have look for GetUserName etc... to pu the directories created in this place but I don't know how my application can see if it is running on XP or Vista, I have seen the method "obsolete" and I dont knox where to find the good method and what she returns. What do you think, why in a side she works correctly and in other not!! for the directories already in the application? "Mes Liasses " which is ok and the "exemple" which is not. Where must I question me :in my code? in Vista restrictions?Where to find solution? I thank you in adavance Patrick "Mike Collins" <its@TheBottomOfThePost> a écrit dans le message de news:46481a11 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Vista is "secure" If you want to write in non-approved areas, you (the user, not the programmer) must tell Vista that it is ok to do so.
