Hi, I have shared an access 97 application (on the hard disk of a Windows 2000 pro ) with maximum autorization, I understand that only 10 users can access the application at a time. I also created a groupe of 10 users that have access to this application, But when I go on 'managing the Pc' there are 3 shared directories (share, sessions, open files). in the session directory, there is always sessions open for users that are not in the groupe and that are not supposed to have access to this application. this blocks the real users to access the application untill i colse the extra sessions. Any ideas? thanx, kevin Merci pour votre coopération. kevin

Have you tried setting the share up with a password? Or have you tried making sure that only the group of 10 users you created have access to the folder(s)? Are you sure that under your group policy settings other users can't inherit permissions from the group of 10 users? I would try creating a group that is not associated with any other groups. Then, add (or create new accounts) for the 10 users and place them into this group - making sure their is no conflict in inheritance. Then under the sharing permissions of the folder(s) make sure that only administrator and the group you setup have permission to the folder. If the everyone group has "read" ability to the folder they will be able to browse the folder and keep the other users from using the application.
