(70) Permission Denied when writing new file from VB 6.0

[letkok]

Help! When I run the VB program in test mode while looking at the
code, it functions correctly and creates the desired file. When I
compile it on the server and try to have it run from the scheduler, I
get the error 70 - Permission Denied. I have a report which comes
down thru our system. The VB code reads the first few lines of the
report to determine which file to write out. Then it tries to write a
copy of the original file back to the network. This is when I get the
error. Thanks for your help!

The ID the program is running under doesn't have permission to write in the
desired place on the server. Check with your server admin.
