Error 75: File/Path Access Error

Author	Message
Thraxi #1 / 6	Error 75: File/Path Access Error I'm developing an application in VB 5.0 that is using a database. I created an installation package using the VB Setup Wizard, and did an installation on NT Server 4.0 (no service packs installed). It runs fine. Another person has installed it on NT Server 4.0 (SP2) and keeps getting "Error 75: File/Path Access Error" Any ideas on what could be causing this? The statement reads: myDB = DBEngine.OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\" & "myDB.mdb") I have also tried: myDB = DBEngine.OpenDatabase(App.Path + "\" + "myDB.mdb") myDB = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\" & "myDB.mdb") The file myDB.mdb DOES exist, as it was installed with the application. I have had the person try installing it as Administrator vs. User, in a directory other than the default "C:\Program Files\myApp" directory. The error occurs if he runs the application as Admin or as User. I have checked to ensure the file is not read-only (if it is, a different error occurs). Thanks for any assistance!

daja10.. #2 / 6	Error 75: File/Path Access Error I'm not sure if this is your problem, but I have run across troubles with "App.Path" on NT servers. Replacing that with an INI and specificaly nameing the path, and it cured my woes. Good luck. -Daja Quote: > I'm developing an application in VB 5.0 that is using a database.

If you installed from a CD you burned, some of the files you put out may still be marked Read-Only. That'll cause this. Joe

Dave Sacket #4 / 6	Error 75: File/Path Access Error I have seen code before that tests App.Path for "\" on the end of it, like this: If right$(app.path,1) <> "\" then app.path = app.path & "\" endif If you haven't found your problem yet you might look at this possibility.
