The people I know who are playing with Win8 right now tell me it's "COM to the core." That's all I know right now. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

BTW did you notice Windows 2000 Application Specification for Microsoft Windows 2000 for Desktop Applications just above Chapter 4: Data and Settings Management That document might be out of date what with security lock down to Common App Data MS did in Windows Vista.

Thanks for providig that. Also your button code doesn't crash on my system even in an exe like the JCButton code does. So maybe your user control will work for me.

This does mean any user can change them, but it is purely config logs and recorded data that goes there, no executables. This does leave a minor hole where a malicious user can edit the config files to get the app (if run privileged) to overwrite something, but if you have untrusted users on your CCTV system, you have bigger problems... :) -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems (Replies direct to my email address will be ignored.
