I don't know of a VFP function that will do what you ask. However, my assumption is that you are referring to network user rights. Outside of an API function, the only method I know of is:


****************************************************
function qlUserHasRightsTo

lparameters tcPath

local llAbleToOpen, lcTestFile, lnFileHandle

lcTestFile = tcPath + "\" + sys(3)
lnFileHandle = fcreate(lcTestFile)
llAbleToOpen = (( lnFileHandle > 0 ))

if llAbleToOpen
fclose(lnFileHandle)
erase(lcTestFile)
endif

return llAbleToOpen
****************************************************

The idea being, of course, that if you can open a low-level file for read/write access in the target directory (no matter what the system is -- Linux, etc), then your user probably has the proper rights that will allow your VFP app to run successfully.
