    Exclamation VB running with higher priv's than user

    I have a VB program that write file to a share on the network. I have modified the program to allow it to replace previously created files. This required me to change the permissions for that share which would let people overwrite the files "by hand" instead of thru the program. I would like to leave the permissions on the share "as is" and just change "rights" of the program. Is there a way that the VB program can run as a certain privledge user different than the user who is running the program? I don't want the user to be able to manipulate the files, only the program they are running.

    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums.

    Permissions are given to user accounts. Everything is control by individual accounts (or groups that contain individual account Ids).

    In other words, programs don't have rights, user accounts do.
