Hi Patrick,

Move the Data Directory to other location. Don't use any level under the
Program Files
one.

Thank you very much!!!
If I understand I build a directory in for example c:/
or must I ask vista a directory with permission
the more easy is in c:/
Thank you again
Patrick

From what I have learned about Vista, you must put the program in the
\Program Files\<your appname>. All files that your app writes to must go
in \users\<user name>\AppData\Local\<appname>. The local directory
could be the roaming directory if you want to mess around with that. I
had to create an inno install that has to be run by the administrator.
It installs the program to the \Program Files\<appname> directory. It
copies the tables to the \users\all users\appdata\<appname>. Then when
the program is first run by any user, it check to see if the files are
in the \users\<user name>\AppData\Local\<appname>. If it doesn't see
them, it copies the files from the \users\all users\appdata\<appname> &
sets the path in the registry. The program now knows where to find the
tables. I use the Advantage Databases. I had to eliminate the ads.ini
file that the program read to find out where the tables were.
