"You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval. »

I use Windows 7 Ultimate and I'm trying to back up the database of Northland under the C:\Program Files directory and I get an error message indicating "you don't have permission to save in this location.  Contact the administrator for approval. "I can't even save a text file to this place, so it has nothing to do with Windows Explorer. When I click the Windows Orb, it shows that I am logged on as administrator.

I haven't used Windows 7 much since installation and don't know if I would have been able to save in this location in the past, but I recently created a working group with my laptop (a little background information).

I searched through other posts for hours and nothing has worked for me.

It makes no sense at all.  Any help would be appreciated,
Chris

It is well known problem UAC (User Account Control) in Windows 7 that prevents you from storing data in system folders. You have these options:

  • Change the database so that it stores its files in a different folder.
  • Get a 7-compatible Windows version of the program.
  • Turn off UAC (not recommended)
