I have successfully installed I-series access and am able to connect to our
AS400. That said, we use multiple connections via an IBM *.bch file. There
are no errors during the bch creation process, the bch file just doesn't get
created.

I understand that it's beta, and this is not a production system. It's for
testing only.

Thank you in advance!

I am not familiar with AS400.

Is the BCH file you speak of created on the Vista machine, or the AS400?

This is probably related to the fact that every program you run on your
computer runs only with "standard user" rights, even if you are an
administrator.

If the program that creates the bch files tries to save the file to a
protected location (basically, anywhere outside of your user profile folder
or the appdata folder), then the file is probably being silently redirected
to the following folder in your user profile directory:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\

If this is indeed what is happening, and this is unacceptable, there are a
few things you can do (in order of preferability)

1) If you can change where the BCH file is stored, save it to
c:\users\Public\Documents or c:\ProgramData, these folders can be accessed
by every user on the system.

2) Run the program with full administrator rights by right-clicking it and
clicking Run As Administrator

3) Modify NTFS file permissions to allow your username full access to the
folder where this file is being created

4) Disable UAC from the control panel. This is the operating system service
that limits administrators to normal users unless elevated (Not
recommended).

Thanks for the information. I have tried to create the bch file in
C:\users\"my username" and to the public area with no success in the past.
