Hello,

My application (visual studio 2008, visual basic) writes out a few files
when it runs.

On Windows 7, it fails at startup, apparently because access is denied to
write these files. It also creates databases while it runs. How do I get
around this security problem. I'm sure many programs need to write files
when they run. The files are under its own application directory.

Thanks.

Use a directory where access is permitted.

Where is that directory?

Program Folder is a protected folder on Win 7. You can't write program
data or files to that folder. You have ProgramData folder, a hidden
folder, that you can write to for a program's data and files.
 
Thanks for all the help from everybody
