Thread: file security

    file security

    Does anyone know how to allow a program to have write access to a file, but
    not the user who is running the program. This is to ensure that the user does
    not mess with the file. Thanks for the help.

    Well these are really slick but why not making a file read-only and hidden

    hey, you can also do this:
    open "c:\whatever\whatever.dat" for output as #1
    write #1, text1
    close #1
    ' hope this helps

    Re: file security

    What do you mean with "the user who's running the program cannot acces the file"?
    Do You have to hide and protect your file while the program is not runnin'?
    Please be more specific so WE can post, thanx

    Something over there is coding....
    ... and you don't know!
