This article was previously published under Q197486 SYMPTOMS
"Open For Binary" fails in Visual Basic when attempting to open a file in a
shared resource on a Windows 95 computer where the share control has been
set to share level access. The Open call fails with the following message:
Run-time error '75': Path/File access error.
This only occurs when the shared resource is on a Windows 95 computer with
share-level access control.
RESOLUTION
Here are three possible solutions:
- Set the access permission on the shared resource to full control.
-or-
- Use user level access. This is only possible if the computer in question
is part of a Windows NT domain.
-or-
- Access the file using Win32 API calls.
