I have a Delphi app that constructs a file path from two fields in an SQL database. It then sends the file path to Windows to open the file. The file path is constructed with a mix of forward and backward slashes. On one Windows 7 machine, Windows opens the file as requested by the app. On another Windows 7 machine, Windows opens up through the last backslash and stops. The user is then presented with that folder in a new File Explorer window. I initially thought there might be a permissions issue. However, I can browse and open the file using the same Windows login. Is there a setting in Windows 7 that may be different between the two installations that may be causing this? Thanks in advance

May be that depends of rights of User and Application are launched?

Thanks for the reply. I am running the application as Administrator by right-clicking on the EXE and choosing "Run As Administrator".

i ment that remote user rights where it doesn't work

The user is a Domain User with full control of the file path in question. Also, I updated the second field in the SQL database that had the forward slashes in the path to have backward slashes instead. I was then able to open the file on that computer. Unfortunately the user has a second application that requires that field to have forward slashes, so this is not a viable solution.
