Hi Simon,

Try to set Security Rule for the folder where you put your application
(maybe C:\CAVO28).

Hi Darmadi / Geoff,

That's the weird part - my main programs run fine in the same folders, with
the same startup code etc.

Local folder is C:\AppDevelop\Estimating

Other programs work fine in the same location. The ones that dont are really
basic programs - they have a main shell, one window with one option so they
can update DBF file structures

No COM, No registry writing, No where near the Program Files folders.

I can live with this as it's a program users will use rarely and it could be
good that they need admin rights to run it!

But here's where I'm at:

I've created a new MDI app from the samples.

By just amending the name for the Exe on the properties page I can make it
ask for Admin rights or not.

Just trying to work out where / what security settings are on the folder and
any relation between names that work and those that dont.

Thanks for the reply though.

Simon

Hi,

Could this be something to do with the filename?

Having the word "Updates" as part of the filename seems a daft reason
but.......

Created a new folder C:\SGTemp

1a. Created new MDI application from samples:
1b. File C:\SGTemp\EstUpdates.Exe

Needs admin permission to run.

2a. Created new MDI application from samples:
2b. File C:\SGTemp\EstUxdates.Exe

Runs fine.

Simon

PS - I've searched and removed all previous traces of files called
EstUpdates in case one of those was in the path.

PPS - Anybody got an alternative word for Updates I could use :)
I can only seem to come up with four letter ones myself :)

Interesting about "Updates". Didn't know that one. How about "Revisions"?

Hi Ginny,

I dont think it can be just that - although I'd be interested if anyone else
can replicate the problem - I doubt it though :)

It must be something odd with my setup etc.

Tried renaming the app - still wanted admin rights. Copied all mefs from my
app into previously working standard MDI app - this then stopped working.

Going to leave it alone for a day or two to see if that fixes it :)

Simon
