rights restricted to one directory

[prapti]

i had a program running since several years, recently we installed windows 2003 server and citrix vpn.

our company also appointed a consultant
the consultant has made rights restricted to one directory only.
so my directory structure is as follows

X (somename)
Y (somename)
CORP
BIN Picture Data Temp

My rights are restricted to CORP

The executable is in BIN
to access the executable i go one directory back and then to Data
dbf() shows correctly as \x\y\corp\data\filename.dbf

config.fpw is set to

tmpfiles="..\temp"
editwork="..\temp"
progwork="..\temp"
sortwork="..\temp"

sys(2023) shows as \x\y\corp\temp

i still get read only errors and errors relating to trying to access restricted areas.

any ideas on what i can do? or what i am doing wrong.

The obvious question is do you have a temp directory off the CORP directory? If not, you either need to make one or redirect your config.fpw to a valid folder.

After that, you'll have to verify you have no other hardcoded paths in your app, and that you have full access to your tree.

Sometimes a outside 'consultant' has to be educated as to what needs to happen, not just left on their own to do things based on their own assumptions.

If he has been given the authority to set security rights within your system, he can extend those rights as needed in order to run the existing applications. BUT he may have to be 'educated' on what HAS to work and in what manner.

I'd suggest that you go back and 'educate' whoever needs to know (perhaps the consultant's boss) as to what rights HAVE to exist in order to run your application. Otherwise you may have to spend time and money re-architecting your application to meet THEIR ideas.

Good Luck,
