At no stage did I attempt to write files in a volume's root. In the example above, for instance, h:\externalfiles already existed. >and also it has more checks applied to directories outside one's profile >dir. >Can you create a text file inside h:\externalfiles? Yes - anywhere on the system. For example, if I get a text file as an attachment and open it from my mail reader, I can save it then to anywhere I like. I wonder who is the "user" to which Windows is denying access everywhere except within Firebird's own root structure. On my system, I am user 'helen', which is an administrator. I seem to recall from some ancient discussion that the Firebird service runs under user 'localsystem'. I don't know how that applies to Fb 2.5, though.
