>>>Hi,
>>>A customer moved my VFP 9 application to a new VM running Server 2008 R2. He said he set my user name to be local admin.
>>>When I connect to the new server (VPN and RDT) I can go into the application directory. I can make changes to some VFP tables using VFP9 run-time; no problem. I checked my user name is in the Security tab of this application folder and given Full access. And yet, when I run the application executable, opening any DBF table is denied. I tried to run the application executable as Administrator; still not working.
>>>The application folder is set as a share for Everyone to have Read/Write access
>>>
>>>What else can be causing this issue?
>>>TIA
>>
>>You also need to share the folder that your application creates temp files in (possibly amongst other share issues).

>I have never done it (share the temp folder; I thought it was implicit) but I will check the temp folder and see if I have access to it. Thank you.
The problem was resolved when the customer IT reset all passwords on the server (at least this is how he explained it to me).
