pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT18 Jul 2015 00:29:00 Z17 Jul 2015 14:44:00 ZHi, my customer wants me to implement the following functionality: The users have no admin rights and can't create folders. For each customer the program has to automatically create some folders: drive:\customers\customer Müller If the user creates an order for the customer Müller then the program has to create additional folders: drive:\customers\customer Müller\orders 2015\order 4711\ Is there a way to get the admin rights from within my program to create the folders? Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance and greetings Markus30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/53113-wdx-getting-admin-privileges-create-folders/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)guestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/53113-wdx-getting-admin-privileges-create-folders-53123/read.awp18 Jul 2015 00:29:00 ZHi, what kind of files are stored in this specific folder?
