     That is the way I did it, I just didn't know the
term "account" in the PC frame of reference.

     Once again this is a test of a more elaborate
security scheme. But, I have to have denial capibility,
and my first test of it for Users applied to non-User
accounts. I need to know deny works and how to deny
Users, without having it affect Power Users or
Administrators.

     My test was set up like this:

     Folder1
        Folder2
           File2
        File1

     On Folder1 I unchecked the inherit box. Then I
allowed "Tom" full control and I denied Users full
control.

     But, I was surprised to find that "Tom" couldn't
even view the contents of Folder1.

     Do you have any ideas?

     Thank You,

          Tom
