run-time error '70' Permission Denied
« on: February 27, 2011, 09:44:19 AM »
Hi,

  I have a VB app that runs fine on windows XP but when I try to run it on Windows Server 2008 I get the following error run-time error '70' Permission Denied.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
rajeevc

It would be great to know what this app is and what it does...

    I STW and got:

    My guess at this early stage is that it is probably trying to access something on the %SystemDrive%, as the security on 2008 is tighter than on XP by default.
