Hi,

Place the config file in the "c:\users\login_name\Application Data\Your_App_Name" on each workstation. Vista doesn't like writing the programs directory.

>What do you mean by application data directory? I am using SQL Server so the application data directory is also under Program Files.
>Maybe all my problems are related to my placement of the config file.
