File Attributes/securities

[oscarse]

Sorry this is sort of a cross post as I was not sure what the issue was I posted a related question in the XP forum.

The issue is that I have an ACCESS VBA app that is creating jpg files that are no longer accessible across a peer network. This was working until I converted a 2K app into a 2k3 app plus made some changes unrelated to the File save process.

What I found was that the Permissions of the files are being altered for some reason. I changed the Permissions manually on the parent Folders and files but any new files are still being stored with the wrong permissions ... not taking on the Parent permissions of the folder.

I am using the createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") objects to move, copy or delete files which hasn't changed from my 2k app so am perplexed at what is changing the permissions.

Hi....

When copying a file from a secured location the file takes on the security of the destination.

When moving a file from a secured location the security follows the file from the original location.

You can test this in explorer, by copying and or moving a file then check the security under file properties.
