I've found that you can't always count on Windows to apply its own groups correctly. Rather than relying on Administrator's group rights, try explicitly giving the dCServer account permissions to the necessary folders.

Hi

I currently have a server that has a web-connect application on it as well as Remote Desktop Users accessing a VFP application on the same server. I want to limit the Remote desktop users to their own folder when saving files. If I removes the Users Group from the security tab on the drive it works as expected and the Remote Users can only save data into folders that I have specifically enabled. However when the web connect application needs to read a file from one of the folders on the drive a Windows Logon dialog box is displayed in the Web Browser which I do not want. I created a special user called dCServer which is part of the Administrators group and used it as the User to run under for the web connect application which I thought would be enough since the Administrators group has rights to the entire drive but I still get this Windows Logon dialog. Can anyone explain what is wrong with my setup and how it should be configured?

Thanks,
Simon
