hello,

some of my new customers have a very individual IT structure, especialy user rights (not
simple main user, admin etc.) In some cases the databases work not properly i.e. creating
new tables.

I would like to know in detail what rights are nedded for a proper run of DBISAM. I have
V2.12 and current 4.x in progress, so i need this info for both. Where can i find/get
these informations?

Thank you

PB

In terms of basic file system rights:

1) For the database directory where the database tables are stored, you need
create/read/write at the very least, and delete if you want the users to be
able to drop tables from the database.

2) For the private directory where the temporary tables are stored, you need
create/read/write/delete.

Hi Paul,

Are you using the database server?  If so you could run the database server as a service
with the requried user rights.  
Or you could install the database server on the clients server machine.

You can also run applications as another user with the required rights.

Come to think of it where are you storing the database files?  
I think you have full access to the current users application data folder "C:\Documents
and Settings\<username>\application data\".

My apologies.  "At the very least" means "the minimum requirement".
