Hi Barbara,

Still no good. It's kind of funny. I can read and write to all of the data files in the vfp database via the dll that my asp.net has access to. But I cannot go to the same directory on the same computer via the same dll and issue a simple command as:

 if Directory(...)

I tried another test with :

  if File(..)

and that fails in that it always return .f.

Every other vfp command in the dll works fine. It is just these two file access commands. That is why I thought the user, which I am impersonating needed additional rights. In summary: reading and writing to data files are ok but checking for the mere exisitance of a file or a directory is *not* ok.

Any thoughts?

Neil
