Your second case sounds very suspicious. Have you tried stepping through the code in your service to see what happens to the file open?
What file access methods do you use? Please post the code that opens the file along with the code that produces these messages.
My guess is that the first case can be taken at face value, when the service runs as the local system account, it may not have permissions on the network resource. (One solution is to just give it permission).
The second case does not look like a permissions problem at all, but rather some other bug in the code.
HOpe this helps,

Hi all,
With VC7(.NET), following code give me a surprise!!!
-------snippet-------
int main(void) {
char x = 0xf0;
return 0;
}
with VC7, x = 0, with VC6 sp5, x = -15(0xf0).
when i change assignment to followings:
1) char x = static_cast<char>(0xf0);
2) char x = (char)0xf0;
3) memcpy(&x, "\xf0", 1);
4) unsigned char x = (unsigned char)0xf0;
nothing changed, x = 0.
what's the problem? me, ANSI/ISO standard, or VC7?

(First of all, I guess there's a typo in your post and you meant -16 instead of -15.)
This is most surprising! According to the standard, the behavior you're describing is compliant: you're trying to convert a value outside (signed) char range (namely 0xf0=240), and the standard marks this as undefined behavior. 1) 2) are equivalent, about 3) I'm not sure what's the expected behavior, and as for 4) the expected value of x is 240, not 0 (Could you check 4) again?)
What strikes me is that, despite the undefined behavior, the simplest solution, in terms of resulting code, would be that x was set to -16 (no overflow checking, direct bit pattern reinterpretation). Moreover, it is highly unlikely that MS decides to change the way its compiler behaves in such a delicate subject, thus breaking backward compatibility to gain esentially nothing. Could it be that this is a debug mode feature, and in release mode x is -16 like in the old days? Could you check that?

I think 3 would set x to the value of 'x'. You will copy one character from the string "\xf0" to the variable x. I don't think x is a standard escape character, so the \ will produce a warning and disappear at compile time leaving "xf0". The code copies 1 character so that would be the 'x'.
Thanks for the help,
Bill

Something else is going on. It works as expected (-16) on my VC7.

My main program dialog is supposed to be non-maximizable,
it has a border style of thin and no maximize button.
The problem is if I run the program using a shortcut and set the
window style to maximize, it runs it maximized and it
looks like cr^P.
I've tried to then send messages to the dialog to
simulate the user clicking the restore menu item, but
this just maximizes it again.
Is there any way to intercept this maximize command and/or
dynamically resize the form back 2 its normal size?

Handle the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING message. Windows sends this message when it is about to resize a window, you can override the proposed settings to the size of your dialog.

If you handle the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message you can specify the allowable dimensions of your window.

How in MFC would I intercept messages prior to them being sent or mapped/directed to the message handlers...?
I need to perform special operations on WM_PAINT, WM_LBUTTONUP etc before they're mapped to OnPaint() OnLButtonDown(nFlags, CPoint) etc...?
Can this be accomplished using OnCmdMsg()...?
Anyone know any good explanations of OnCmdMsg..?
How would I use hooks in MFC, this would allow me to hijack a message and perform some calculations, change some WPARAM's before letting it continue. Basically I want the ability to do what was possible with plain jane SDK C code.
OnCommand() WndProc() don't lend themselves nicely to what i'm trying to get done.

Of course....Nish...your a genius...man if that'll let me do what I need done...wow...what a relief...only...will give me the handle to window the control is for, like SDK?
This is where one of the problems comes in..?
I wonder if theres a function for getting the MSG structure of the current message...i'm pretty sure that has the HWND...
in anycase...PreTranslateMessage sounds like a solid plan.
Cheers and thanx u kindly!

Thanx Mike, but what I really need is the message AND the window handle that sent the message...so if the MSG structure's hwnd field is not NULL then i'm in business.
Thanx!

And of course, the window handle that sent the message isn't included..it's the handle that the message is for...oh well...I think i figured it out.
Thanx again!

One of books says this field is usually NULL...which would totally suck...
I would ideally like to get the hwnd from the control that "sent" the message, but it appears this is not possible with the incoming MSG, it (if anything) gives me the hwnd to the window(control) whose WndProc should handle the message. I'm really only interested in intercepting messages from two windows. The parent and child...with the parent processing all the messages. So long as I know the parent's window hwnd i could do something like this:
CParentWnd::PreTransLateMessage(MSG)
{
if(this->m_hWnd == MSG.hwnd)
AfxMessageBox("Message from parent");
else
AfxMessageBox("Message from child");
}
If this doesn't work I have more trick up my sleeve which hopefully does.
What do you think Nish...does the above sound solid for acheiving the task at hand..? Is there a better way of doing it...???
Thanx man!
Cheers

Hello Hockey
If you actually want to figure out which control the message came from,the MSG structure has a pt member. This might be useful if you want to try and locate the exact control that send the message.
But seriously if you want to catch messages before they are handled, at the control level, you must actually start thinking of sub-classing the controls.

As Nish have answered the message-interception thing (I guess he literally sits at his PC every waking hour (and most hours when he should be sleeping  ) I thought I'd give it a go at the "what's OnCmdMsg all about".
OnCmdMsg gets called through two different paths: either from OnCommand or from MFC in response to a UI update. OnCommand handles only WM_COMMAND messages (not WM_PAINT or WM_LBUTTONDOWN - I'm a little unsure about WM_NOTIFY messages as they used to be WM_COMMAND messages in win16). OnCommand will quite early on call OnCmdMsg in order to do the message map lookup and dispatching.
But OnCmdMsg is also called when MFC needs info in order to update the UI. When you select a menu from the menu bar MFC will call OnCmdMsg in order to get this info. OnCmdMsg will look for an ON_COMMAND_UPDATE_UI entry in the message map and call it if present. In the ON_COMMAND_UPDATE_UI handler you can enable or disable the menu item. If no ON_COMMAND_UPDATE_UI handler is present OnCmdMsg will look for a ON_COMMAND handler for the command and if present it will enable the menu item.
Anyway, WM_COMMAND (and WM_NOTIFY?) is the only message that non-UI-window classes can handle (i.e. classes derived from CCmdTarget such as CWinApp and CDocument). But of course, UI-window classes (CView, CMainFrame etc) can handle both "ordinary" WM_xxx messages and WM_COMMAND messages.
Hope this clarifies the purpose of OnCmdMsg.
Cheers
Steen.

Thanks for the Link Andy. But on that page I found a slight typo :-
BOOL CMyView::OnCmdMsg(...)
{
if (CMyView::OnCmdMsg(...))
return TRUE;
return m_wndGizmo.OnCmdMsg(...);
}
This must be a typo, right?

Well spotted Nish - you're dead right.
Presumably the call would be to CView::OnCmdMsg(), which would route the message through CMyView's message map, and - if it wasn't handled there - on to the corresponding document.

'ridiculous' is spelt wrong. I do not know whether this is as intended. If not, you might want to correct it.

Jesus Nish...I thought you lived in India...not to say indians can't speak English or anything, but you seem to know English really really well...like maybe you don't live in India...maybe you really do live in Canada somewhere...and your just hiding.... 
Just jokes...India was part of the British Empire for some time wasn't it...? Kinda like Hong Kong...Canada, Aussie you name it...God damn the queen...nevermind bless her...so greedy!!!(spelling)

I've had a Jesuit education [which explains why my english is sorta good]; and I kinda love the english language a little more than the average Indian does I guess. Anyway in general educated Indians do speak the language pretty well, though the pronounciation might be quite awkward for foreigners to follow
