Re: Strange permissions problem

Thanks! That is probably the best answer that I've gotten yet. MS support
has been LESS than helpful with this. All I really needed to know from them
was if the users needed to be part of the local admin or power users groups,
but they decided instead to try to troubleshoot each and every permission
denied error.

Thanks a bunch! I'm going to try to put their group into the local power
users or admin group so that they'll be able to develop and test problem
free. I think that I've locked down our network well enough so that that
won't cause any access violations, but time we'll see if there are any holes
that I might need to close. In any event, thanks for your help.

Regards,
--John
