MoveFile: Access denied ???

[gabbana]

Hi, I have a big problem. I am trying to use the simple method MoveFile but getting Error code 5: Access denied. I have Windows Vista and UAC enabled. If I right click on the app and select "Run as administrator" -> everything works fine. My problem is, many users have normal accounts and don't run apps as an administrator. So my question is how can i implement the feature to move the file as a normal user? Thanks. bye, gabbana

Where is the file being moved from/to? If it's the Program Files directory there's not much you can do about that. Regards, --Perspx

The files moving from C:\myfile.txt to C:\myapp\txt So its my own directory...

If the file is set to "Read Only" this problem will occur. Vista is looking for permission to move that file, so something is telling Vista that it needs permission to move that file. Check the files property.
