Right, had a play with Vista again today.

Afraid there is bad news.

I created a text file (from within Blitzmax) with one account, and attempted to access it from another. I can read the file OK, but I cannot write to it.

Using SetFileMode file,%110110110 made no difference. Upon using FileMode to determine which bits were already set when the file was created, it was already set to %110110110.

Further, attempting to write to these files, caused Vista to get all clever, and it saved my files to the VirtualStore instead.

I'm at a loss now, and open to suggestions.
