Setting NTFS permissions

Jeff,

It could be due to objSecDes not being declared correctly. I have written
similar code in VB.NET with no problems. My declaration of the security
descriptor is as follows

Dim madSecurityDescriptor As SecurityDescriptor = Nothing

I reassign the ACL with the command

madSecurityDescriptor.DiscretionaryAcl = adAccessControlList

Where

Dim adAccessControlList As AccessControlList = Nothing


I hope this helps

not found" exception on this line:
objSecDes.DiscretionaryAcl = objDAcl

any idea why this would happen?

Thanks, I found the problem. I'd created a directory to test this on, but
there were no files within it, so it was failing on trying to set the
permissions on the nonexistant files.
