Salon Maid Software RUN-TIME ERROR 75 - >>> WHEN UPGRADING <<<

This means you do not have the access rights to certain files on your PC...
Even though you may be signed-in as an administrator in your Windows, the Windows Vista may still not give you full access to database files before you make sure you grant yourself this access to those certain database files. 

- In Windows Vista, even if you are signed on as the administrator, you are not running your programs as an administrator necessarily (in other words you do not have full path and file access rights), unless you right-click on the given program and select the option to "run as an administrator". If this was your issue and this fixes the problem, a permanent solution would be to right click on the software title (our software) in the Windows Vista program menu (in "All programs" under our program name) and select properties, then  under "Shortcut" and then under "Advanced", select "run as an administrator" and also under "Compatibility" select "run as an administrator". Then select "Apply" and "OK". This will ensure that every time the software runs on your system under your Windows Vista log-in, it is always started as an administrators program- in other words with full path and file access rights.
 
If the above instructions did not help with this problem, then to remedy this issue you need to do two additional things:
 
1) Change the security settings on your Windows system allowing you full access to database files into the folder "C:\POS\", here is how to do this:
-  Right-Click on the Windows start button on the left bottom corner of your Windows screen.  Select the option "Explore".
Than select the location "C:\POS\", (you do this by clicking on (C:), on the left side of the new window that will open up, than on the right side select the folder "program files" by double clicking on it. And finally on the left side select the folder "POS" by double clicking on it).
 
-  Right-Click on the "PM228" database file (not the file with the orange logo on it that says application for type, but the other PM228 file).
-  Select "Properties" and than select the "Security" tab. 
-  In the box that says "Group or User Names", select each group or user name, one by one and check in the box that says "Permissions for system" to make sure that all of these user names have full control allowed with a check mark in the box that says "Permissions for system". 
-  When you get to a group or user name that does not have full control allowed with a check mark in the box that says "Permissions for system", for this you need to click on the "edit" button and click "continue" if you are prompted to confirm this action, select again the group or user name that did not have full control and in the "Permissions for users" box, click on the "Full control" box that says "Allow".  Click "Apply" than "OK" and another "OK". 
-  Than in the earlier "Explore" window, right-click on the "PM228" file with the orange logo, select "Properties", select the "Compatibility" tab, than in the lower part of this window, where it says "Privilege level", put a check mark on the box that says "Run this program as an administrator", than click "Apply" and click "OK".
 
2.) You also need to change the security settings on your Windows system allowing you full access to database files into the folder "C:\POS\", here is how to do this:
 
-  Right-Click on the Windows start button on the left bottom corner of your Windows screen.  Select the option "Explore".
Than select the location "C:\POS\", (you do this by clicking on (C:), on the left side of the new window that will open up, than on the right side select the folder "program files" by double clicking on it. And finally on the left side select the folder "POS" by double clicking on it).
 
-  Right-Click on the "PM228" database file.
-  Select "Properties" and than select the "Security" tab. 
-  In the box that says "Group or User Names", select each group or user name, one by one and check in the box that says "Permissions for system" to make sure that all of these user names have full control allowed with a check mark in the box that says "Permissions for system". 
-  When you get to a group or user name that does not have full control allowed with a check mark in the box that says "Permissions for system", for this you need to click on the "edit" button and click "continue" if you are prompted to confirm this action, select again the group or user name that did not have full control and in the "Permissions for users" box, click on the "Full control" box that says "Allow".  Click "Apply" than "OK" and another "OK". 
-  Than in the earlier "Explore" window, right-click on the "PM228" file with the orange logo, select "Properties", select the "Compatibility" tab, than in the lower part of this window, where it says "Privilege level", put a check mark on the box that says "Run this program as an administrator", than click "Apply" and click "OK".
 
Now you have setup your Windows to allow YOU to change and overwrite database files into your own "Program Files" and "POS" folder, so that you can successfully upgrade any software that you like with a database in these folders. 
Now you can continue upgrading our software and you will no longer see the error that you have been experiencing.
