Dexterity Runtime Error

Hello:

We are encountering a problem when launching Great Plains using the
following in our shortcut:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions\Great Plains\Dynamics.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions\Great Plains\Dynamics.set"
(all one line).

When running the program as a domain admin, the application launches just
fine but when running as a general domain user, we get the following error
message in the Dexterity Runtime Window: "You do not have permission to open
this file".

We have tried granting admin rights to the local user, but it only seems to
work when a domain admin ID is used to login to the workstation...

Any thoughts?

Are any files marked Read Only?

Have you tried putting the user in the Local Administrators group?

Marty,
It is simply a file permission issue.
You should not give the user admin rights for this reason.

Are you installing this on Terminal Server?
Your user may be in the Terminal Services Users as opposed to Domain Users.

Just ensure that the domain user or the his group group has
Read/Write/Modify/Execute/Delete permissions on the Grat Plains Folder.

In my experience it usually means there is a shared Reports.dic on the
network. You'll see the path to it in the Dynamics.set file (Right
click-Edit). The user needs to have Full Rights to that location or atleast
file. There could be a shared Forms.dic also. So, just look in the
Dynamics.set file for any paths that are not local.

I've also seen it happen when the computer was first setup with a local user
(not on the domain). Then the domain user did not get full permissions to
their own C drive since it already found a user there. You'd have to add
the domain user to the computer though (domain\user and not just user) and
give it permission to the C drive.
