Path/File Access error

Hi,

In my attempt to convert an "installation" program I wrote in A2003 that runs
perfectly on Windows XP to A2007 on Windows Vista, I am coming across Error
75 - Path/File access error whenever A2007 encounters code that requires
transferring files or creating folders under "C:\Program Files", i.e. using
MkDir, FileCopy commands etc. Is this a Windows Vista security issue? And if
so, how can I get Access to allow users to run the A2003 application so that
it will automatically create a user-choosen folder under C:\Program Files and
transfer all of the appropriate files across to this same location?

For anyone that might ask, the Access application is running in a Trusted
Location within A2007.

It's extremely frustrating but it seems Vista doesn't allow access to these
folders from within Access.

Please help...

It's a Vista security issue. You really should find another location to put
the files rather than under C:\Program Files.
