Winform App and security issues

[Bill Gower]

I have a .Net WinForms app running on a server and the user accesses it
through the Citrix Neighborhood. A feature of the app is that it creates an
excel spreadsheet file and then the user can choose to save it to their
local hard drive. When the app was under VB6, this was not a problem but
now under .Net the app hangs when trying to save to the local drive. I
tried it and it worked but then I have administrator privileges on the
server. What do I need to do to the app so that users who do not have
administrator rights on the server can allow the app running on the server
under their logins to save the file to their local drives?


Thanks
Bill

I have developed VB6 solutions on Citrix Terminal server farm as well.

If I remember correctly, the Citrix client software being ran locally and
server software being ran on the server is really a WEB session, even
through it's a Windows Application running on the Citrix Terminal server.

Now, don't hold me to it, but what may be happening is either the local
machine/Aspnet account for .Net Framework 1.1 or the Network Service account
for .Net Framework 2.0 must be established on the local machine with proper
access rights for the account.

Also, if a licensed copy of Citrix is being used, then you should be able to
call Citrix tech support and they may be able to give you a solution. There
is also the Citrix forum where you can post to as well.
