I have two MAC G4's on a NT network, both have Foolproof installed to protect the system. Recently users are getting a message of insufficient access permissions when they try to open a previously saved file or a new file and it happens both on their network share or on their zip disk. I can see permissions being a problem on the network but it does not make sense that they get an access denied error message on their own zip disk. I turned foolproof off and tried to open the file and still the same message.

If anyone has encountered this problem before can you give some idea where I need to look for the problem. The only change that has occurred in the past month is that each user used to have their own volume but when it got as high as 50, I moved all the users folders into a single volume and verified their permissions. All worked for the first week then the error message started happening. the only thing I can think of is that it is related to Foolproof somehow. Thanks.

the exact error message is:
"Can not open file because you do not have the necessary access privileges"

this does not happen everyday with every user - it is sporadic. File sharing is not enabled. Foolproof is set to allow saving of files to ejectable disks, floppy disks and network volumes but not the hard drive which is what is required.

I have tried other MAC forums and google searches for this error message but nothing so far. Any help would be appreciated.
