I know they can write to the application and the data directories (I mean create a file from Windows Explorer). And they can see foxuser table. I don't know, however, about where the VFP apps (in this case) stores the temporary files. But shouldn't it be the same, no matter who is logged into the PC? And as I mentioned, if an Administrator logs into PC, no problem opening .DBF tables. I will ask them to check everything you are suggesting.

Thank you very much for your help.
