Hi,
I wrote a little VB6 program that is being called by my email server when a certain email comes in. The program is then supposed to access a file on another PC on the LAN and create an email out of that file.
Theoretically it works perfectly, but sometimes when the email server starts the program I get a “Permission Denied” error.
If I start the program by hand it works perfectly.
I am not using any command line parameters – I just start the program, and it does all by itself.
The path is correct and the same in both cases.
Both PCs are running Windows XP.
I tried having the email server start a little program whose only purpose was to start my main program – I wanted to see if there was something in the way that my email server starts the program that would deny it access – that didn’t help either.
I tried multiple ways of accessing the file (pretty much all I could find), and all give the same result. Also, I have not been able to get any query to work that tells me if the target file exists. Usually it works, but not via network.
I don’t think it has to do with my code since I tried multiple approaches, but there has to be something in the Windows permissions etc. that won’t let my program through…
Any ideas?
Thanks!
