A public data folder

[Man-wai Chang ToDie]

Does Vi$ta have one?

I have an old Foxpro application that used to store data in "c:/program

files/myapp/data". With Vi$ta, security becomes an issue for the "progam

files(x86)", and I need to relocate the data folder ....

You should be able to setup a file in ¡§c:/myapp/data¡¨ and have the Foxpro

application default to that file. I have multiple programs that save all

data to a different data hard drive. Have a great day.

But you need to turn off UAC to allow access to c:\myapp\data, right?

I haven't turned off UAC since early in the beta programs. One thing

in Vista that you may have to get used to is the security settings on

folders which may restrict access unless you allow all users. Have a great

day.
