>I have a program that I am allowing the user to choose the path that their specific department information resides. Is there a way to verify that the user has security to the chosen directory?

Where do the data reside? Novell server? NT server? If the user does not have rights to a shared directory, can they still see the directory? In Novell, users can not see a directory they have no rights to.
