VB Forum / COM / August 2005

Here's the scenario:

Server Machine + Client machine.  The same VB test application is run
on both machines at the same time, and is designed simply to write a
messages to a file repeatedly (every 50ms), to test local and remote
processes writing to a single error log file over the network.

Test 1:
-------
1. Client creates file on server over network (mapped drive)
2. Client writes to file
3. Server writes to file
4. 3 & 4 repeated ad nauseum with no problems

Test 2:
-------
1. Server creates file on it's local harddrive
2. Server can write to file
3. Client is unable to write to file

I think this is to do with file permissions being different when the
server creates a file (the server then being the "owner").  Is there
any way around this?
