You will need to give the user, at least, Read permissions on the shared folder in order for them to get to the file. Then on the file you can give them the permissions needed. We did this for a user in our accounting dept. that needed to access a file in another dept.s shared folder.

Joe Heaton Employment Training Panel From: James Winzenz [mailto:james.winz...@pulte.com] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 9:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Folder access question Are you setting up the permissions exclusively using NTFS permissions, or are you using share permissions as well on the shared folder? Share permissions and NTFS permissions can conflict with each other, with the most restrictive winning out. Are you denying the user access to the shared folder, or just ensuring he/she does not have permissions? With no permissions defined on the parent, but only on the child, this should work, as the user is allowed to traverse a directory they do not have access to in order to access a child directory via a link.

So how can I do this?
