Permissions to write to network drive within application

Asked by MadIce in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: Visual Basic 2005

I have two permission issues. The main one is how can I allow my program to write/overwrite files on a network drive for users who don't have permission on that drive. The program creates many charts when ran. They are stored on a network drive for everyone to access. But we don't want them changing the charts on the network drive. They can copy and paste them somewhere else if they want to modify. So their permissions are limited. But when they run the program, it needs to update/overwrite current charts with new ones. So is there someway to set permissions on the network drive that allows the program to make changes?  My other issue is only allow a certain group to view a certain form. usually when I have to deal with permissions is been on the SQL Server end. Not the appl. I could setup two groups on Sql Server and block access that way but I assume there is a way within VB to block a group from a form.  This is a windows application. Visual Basic 2005.  Windows XP. Thanks in advance...Start Free Trial
