Permission...?

[DanG77]

Can someone please point me in the right direction...

I need to find out file / directory permissions for the user logged on... Is this an API call?

Cheers

Dan

An api this ain't but will tell you if you can write to a directory.

Function IsWritable(strPath as String) as Boolean
         Dim i
         IsWritable = True
         i = Freefile
         On Error goto bottom
         Open strpath & "tmp.tmp" for output as i
         Close i
         Kill strpath & "tmp.tmp"
         Exit Sub
Bottom:
         IsWritable = False
End Function
