Hello experts!

In the world of medical billing things change on an almost constant basis. As a result, my software frequently needs to be updated. This is a problem in Vista. Clients running Vista cannot download the updates to the Program Files folder; they get an "Access denied" error.

A quick rundown on how updates are performed:

A zip file is downloaded from my website.
The zip file is extracted to a temporary folder on the users computer.
Each file in the temporary folder is copied to the folder containing my executables using the VFP copy file command...this is where they get the "Access denied" error.

I'm sure it has something to do with user privalages but I'm not sure what they should set to override this problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Judy
