Is there an easy way to determine if a user has write access rights to a particular directory.
Basically all I want to do is, from within a programme save a file to a default directory. i've been doing this for years with no problem but recently one user had a problem because he didn't have access rights. So before attempting to write the file I'd like to check those rights. A web and documentation search has yielded no help, and I've adopted the crude stop gap method of trying to save the file, if unsuccessful then the user is offered a chance to choose his own directory. There must be a more elegant way to do this???? -- Regards, Tony Foale EspaƱa / Spain www.tonyfoale.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
