Director and Vista

Question

I'd like to hear what problems (if any) Vista users are
having authoring in Director. Would you share those troubles with
me, and the fixes/patches, workarounds you have found for them?
Thank you!

Hi Sean,
I create a folder and copy files into this folder either in Program Files for PC or Applications for Mac. Works well for Windows 2000 to XP and Mac OSX.
A client using Vista is having difficulty but is unclear as to exactly what is happening. I'm thinking it may simply be permissions.
This is code I use to detect the platform and create the folder:
  if the platform contains "Mac" then
    filePath = baSysFolder("apps") & gFolder
  end if
  if the platform contains "Windows" then
    filePath = baSysFolder("program files") & gFolder
  end if
This is the code I use to save files into the folder:
CDdrive = (the moviePath) & "FileDir" 
  set copyFrom = CDdrive  
  set copyTo = field ("SaveTo")
  cursor 4
  set checkStatus = baXCopy(copyFrom, copyTo, "*.*", "Always", false)
  if checkStatus = 0 then
    delete line 1 of member "ExField"
  end if
