Thanks Jon! I'm going to try creating custom permissions for the single file on the server, but if that doesn't work, then we'll go for the credentials route for the shortcut on each client. Great Help!

Actually, just looking at it, I think you can only apply the credentials to the shortcut rather than the file itself. But it's not a big deal to make one shortcut and copy it around to other pc's.

Each client has a shortcut to the AutoUpdater, which is on the server. Each time a user wants to open my system, the AutoUpdater will first check for needed files on the Client, update if needed, then open the FE file on the client, then will close itself. I think the best thing to do is to apply the security change to the AutoUpdater file on the server. Does that sound right?

How does the Auto updater run now? If it was me, I'd make a shortcut to the executable or batch file, and stick it in scheduled tasks. In there, there's an option to use different credentials, and the same option is available on Shortcut/Advanced tab of the shortcut properties. At least that's how mine run at work.

John, Could you give me more detail? This will be applied to an Access .mdb file rather than a shortcut. Is this done in the Security tab?

Yes, if the PC uses Windows XP, you can right click on the shortcut or program file and set it to run as another user, it's precisely for that purpose. You'll need your administrator to put their username and password in for you, and remember that when they change their password, they'll have to change the one in the shortcut.

I have a Network Administrator question - which I am not. I have an Access FE/BE system installed at a customer. This system has an AutoUpdater file (on the server) which copies updated system files from the Server to the Client as needed when the Client tries to log in. However, on Client PC's where the user does not have local Admin permissions, this copying is being stopped, so the system won't run. Is there a way to create some type of exception so that a Client PC can receive the updated files when a user logs in who doesn't have local Admin permissions? Thanks!
