What do you mean by File Permissions, exactly?

[omerg84]

there is permission called Everyone and i need to change the file permission to it
that permission allows to everyone to watch that file and use it
and how can i change the inheritance of the file with the code?

and how can i get the windows directoy?

Private Declare Function GetWindowsDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetWindowsDirectoryA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long
 
Private WinDir As String
 
Private Sub GetWinDir()
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim sBuffer As String
    Dim lSize As Long
    Dim Rs As Recordset
    sBuffer = Space$(255)
    lSize = Len(sBuffer)
    Call GetWindowsDirectory(sBuffer, lSize)
    If lSize > 0 Then
        WinDir = Left$(sBuffer, lSize - 1)
    Else
        WinDir = vbNullString
    End If
 
End Sub

As far as changing permissions goes, will all the people running your program be administrators on their machines?
