What server OS are you needing help with? My app data reside on Novell server, so I use NetLib which will return all user rights to a specific folder on the server. In Novell, I check for the [R]ead, [F]ile Scan, [C]reate, [W]rite, [E]rase and [M]odify rights.

The above example covers Create, Read, Erase, File Scan and Write. I am not sure about Modify. To confirm Modify rights, you may have to close the handle then try to reopen the file and modify it. Until the file is closed the first time, I believe you are still in the Create process.
