Gettring file/folder permissons in vb 6 (FSO?)

[darkman0101]

How can I tell if the user running my application has read/write access to a given folder on an NTFS partition?
I am looking at using FSO and want to know if this is possible using FSO and if so how?

Is it going to be possible without trying to access a file in the folder and thereby generating an error if the user doesn't have permission?

If it comes down to an API call that is cool too.

Thanks in advance

Jas

I've seen other questions involving folders which exist not showing up using the FSO because the user does not have permission. You might already have your answer and another problem i.e. not knowing whether or not the folder really exists.
