You have to disable Simple File Sharing in order to get ACL access. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/01disablesimplesharing.htm has the steps: 1. Click Start | My Computer | Tools | Folder Options | View. 2. Scroll to the bottom of the list of advanced settings and un-check Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended). 3. Click OK. -- Tino Didriksen / Project JJ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
