Hi Support,
My client is running several xp pro, peer to peer workstations in the
office, and everything has been running ok. No changes to my knowledge. Last
week they complained that Qbooks pro couldn't access the files, the errors
was "it don't allow more that one user at a time", Qbook answer was that xp
folder permissions has to be set to everyone. I checked the folder and
everything was set ok. After looking and looking for the problem i created a
new folder for Qbooks, set the permissions to everyone full control, as well
as the administrator and every one else, just as the old folder was set. I
copied and pasted the files into the new folder, re mapped to the folder and
the workstation can work on qbooks again. Today the same thing again!
What is changing the permissions? Where do i look?

Hi Melvin,

Thanks for your posting.

Please offer more information for further research. What method are these
workstation connected? Does the Windows XP system join domain? How did you
share the folder? Is there any operation related to this issue? Are there
any 3rd party software installed related to this issue.

Please let me know more about the system and the settings. Look forward to
your reply.

Sincerely,
Carsyn Gu

Hi Carsyn,

The works station are peer to peer, using a workgroup, connected with cat5
thru linksys router. there is no domain on the network.
The folder is shared on the root of C:\ simple file shared is not used. The
Folder is shared to "everyone" with full rights " this is the only way Quick
books can be shared for other users to open it up. " Note" there are other
shares in this folder, administrator, users etc." I will need to go back to
the office and verify this but, it appears when I created a new folder for
QuickBooks on workstation(0) and reassign the sharing permissions, the other
workstation(1) can get to the folder and she can work on the files. after
she closes out and the workstation(0) the folder located, she logs in to
quick books and all is ok, but when she exits Workstation(1) can get to the
files as the permissions has changed somehow, you can look at the permission
and everything is the same. Workstation(0) has no problem at any time
accessing the folder.
Hope I didn't confuse you with all this !!

I got into it today, I found the permissions for "everyone" was gone, i put
everyone backin the folder permissions and it worked, still don't know why it
changes. I found 48 pests on the computer and removed them, also installl
XP-SP2. Running all day, no call yet.
