Hi,

Being new to the Windows Server family, I'd like to know hoe to do the
folowing thing :

On my server 2003, I have a drive (named DATA) on which I put important
company data ; database files and other documents, located in a few folders,
that are accessed only using an in-house program. Let call the program
INHOUSE.EXE

INHOUSE.EXE must be able to access the entire drive (e.g. read, write files,
directory creation and so on...).

Each user on the network running XP pro have a copy of INHOUSE.EXE.

Now my question is :

How can I share the drive in order to let INHOUSE.EXE access all the data
but restrict all users from accessing the same shared drive ? I don't want
those users to be able to access the drive and extract the data without the
use of the program.

Is there a way to do that ?

Thanks in advance.
