Folder Permissions

[Uriel365]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night (depending on where you are in the world)

I have a simple database that has, as one of its features, the abilty to create a set of folders for the users to store subsidiary data. What I would like to do is assign read only permission to these folders using VBA. Is this possible ? I have only been able to find help on assigning specific properties to a file.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Look at the Access VBA statement SetAttr.
The syntax is SetAttr pathname, attributes

Pathname can be a file or a folder.

Thank you very much I did scan that quickly but obviously did not want to see what was infront of me. I like to make things more difficult than they are !!
