Hey OriginalGriff:

I have a followup question to my initial question and to your answer. I need your help again.
After making these changes and doing the testing process to get access into
ProgramData directory, success was achieved or so I thought; and success was short lived. Are there permissions surrounding the ProgramData directory, even though it
resides in the root directory that I need to program around? Is the use of the ProgramData directory a 'free all use' for all users on that PC? If so, where did I go wrong? As
mentioned, my original goal was to place some data files into the ProgramData directory, that I could read & write from them; but that has now become nearly impossible.
I'm using MSVC 2019 as my programming platform. Or is my PC all messed up? Do I need to reinstall windows 10?

I'm continually getting the error of "Permission(is) Denied" and on rare occasions; "Invalid Argument" if I push the programming issue on my PC project.

I put together a simple programming example ( using "fopen" and "_fsopen"), not related to the project, trying to figure out the error, and I'm still getting these same errors.

Again Thanks,

SamtheLab.
