Network file attributes
Hi,
I have created a program that generates excel templates which need to be deleted by anyone logging on to the networked computer. I believe the network is a Windows 2000 NT Server. At the moment when the excel templates are created (say in C:\Temp or Shared Documents) only the Admin and the User Id that created them can delete them - Users only have read and read and execute security permissions. Hence if anyone else logs on to that PC the files cannot be overwritten and an error occurs. I need them to be Write accessible for all users. Is there are way to change the network security property of a file using VBA? thanks, Paul B. |

There is sample (VBScript) code he http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...92(VS.85).aspx It would probably be simpler for you to use Cacls.exe: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/135268 but maybe you should contact the administrator about the issue. -- urkec |
