Hay Patrick - it is not very clear from your post exactly what you problem 
is.

Vista has some very strange and stringent enforcements of user permissions. 
As far as I know, it protects the Program File directly from non admin 
access so this throws up a whole host of problems that weren't previously 
there.

Thank you Mike,
I have installed BCB6 on vista then my applications directory "progperso"
In which I have an apllication named "Optiessai"
This application has subdirectories:
"Mes Liasses"
.............
"Exemple"
When I debud my app it can open and write in "Mes liasses" but not open the 
Exemple directory it sais "network error" or EDBEngine error
My application creates directories too in tha application directory, but I 
can open to look for values in bdf file and save them but in other dll with 
(I think) the same code, I cant open the dbf files these files are in the 
directory creates by my application and in its own directory.
Here I can understand that vista have some restrictions, but when I go to 
look in c:\Progpreso\Optiessai\   the directories are created and the good 
files but it don't want open these.
I have the error have said to you.
Too I don't understand where is the mistake my application works fine with 
XP.
I have look for GetUserName etc... to pu the directories created in this 
place but I don't know how my application can see if it is running on XP or 
Vista, I have seen the method "obsolete" and I dont knox where to find the 
good method and what she returns.
What do you think, why in a side she works correctly and in other not!! for 
the directories already in the application? "Mes Liasses " which is ok and 
the "exemple" which is not.
Where must I question me :in my code? in Vista restrictions?Where to find 
solution?
I thank you in adavance
Patrick

Vista is "secure"
If you want to write in non-approved areas, you (the user, not the
programmer) must tell Vista that it is ok to do so.

Yes, but not so much work.

Use  SHGetSpecialFolderLocation()  with one of these
	CSIDL_APPDATA 
	CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA 
	CSIDL_PERSONAL
	CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS 
depending on your requirements.

Works on Win95 too
