Restrict Folder Access

Hi there,

I'm developing a Document Management Application using VB and Access. The objective of the program is to get the documents from the client computers into the server. I'm using File System Object to create folders in the server and to transfer files from the clients to the server. I installed the program on the server and made shortcuts on client computers to access it. Everything but document security is working fine. I've to give the read-write permission on the server to make the clients transfer the files. Once the files got transferred to the server, I want to restrict the access. Is there any other logic to achieve this? Can ASP or VBScript (I'm not much familiar with these) help to achieve the desired security?

Make another application that will move the document file they saved from another secure folder, which they don't have access.

So create a sort of timer, everytime a client save the docs to a folder, it'll automatically detect the folder for files then transfer the file to a secure folder.

Client ------- > \\Network\Folder ---------> \\Secure\Folder

Something like that.

Hi Zynder,

Good suggestion..... Let me try this out.

B/W, is it possible to invoke another exe form a VB program?

Yes.

Use the Shell function.

VB Code:

Shell "C:\MyFolder\App.exe", vbNormalFocus

yup.., i just forget 'shelling'.. thanks zynder
