Our application is used in primarily small offices running peer-to-peer networks. We currently default to installing in a Company\AppVersion with a Data folder under it. (I.E. C:\PowerChurch\PcPlus9\Data ) This makes it easy for users to find and share the folder. Currently users running XP Home have to run CACLS to grant limited users read-write access. http://powerchurch.com/support/answers/articles.php?article_id=41
Good information. Thanks for sharing. At this point, all the clients I'm supporting have DBFs (or a client-server) on a shared server, so I hadn't run into these permissions problems. I'm curious. Keeping your application installed on the C:\ root is resisting the guidelines MS has set up: programs in \Program FIles and "documents" (which might include data if they ever thought of that) in \Documents and Settings. Is there a reason you're not changing your app to work that way, did it break things, or was there a reason why that was undesirable? -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
