Subject Re: Project read only on newly created database correction From Charlie <tm@tc.com> Date Mon, 27 May 2024 13:45:50 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Thanks Ken..  I figured out how to remove the read only and happy to say so far everything is working. Curious how do you figure out the users name?   Is that part of the iss code?C:\Users\username\AppData\... One other thing.  There is [code] at the bottom of the iss script.  If I allow the code to work, that is where the error 'canceled by user' comes in.  So I have disabled it.  I have a feeling that something is happening in that code that doesn't let the script finish and create the program. At any rate I'll figure that out eventually.  Thanks for your help.  Hope everyone has a great memorial day!
