Hi All, I have a VB5 application using MapInfo 6.0 on Windows 2000. When I open the application, the workspace opens correctly but then I get the following error message in a MapInfo message box : "Cannot access file system32 for reading. Please be sure that this file is not open in another application." When I click "cancel" I the VB application displays a message box with the following error: Run-time error '-2147352567(80020009)': Cannot access file system32. I also get the following error in a MapInfo message box when I close the application: "Error writing preferences file" I do not have the source code for the VB5 application to investigate this further, however I have explored the role that users file permissions may play in this and have found that the application runs correctly on a second Windows 2000 machine (with a slightly different build) that I have administrator permissions on. Therefore I suspect that I need to alter some permissions on the machine that I am having problems with but I have not been able to find the correct permissions to resolve this issue. Has anyone come across this type of error message before or have any suggestion? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Charlotte Delaunay
