TRUE if the file specified by

Mode is:
The previous flags can be combined with the
OR operator.
-
gb.Read is the default behavior when the optional argument Mode is not specified.
For a directory, the execution flag means that the directory may be browsed.
Examples
Print Access(User.Home, gb.Write OR gb.Exec)
Dim sPath As String = "/tmp"
Print sPath; " RW "; Access(sPath, gb.Read Or gb.Write)
Print sPath; " R "; Access(sPath, gb.Read)
Print sPath; " W "; Access(sPath, gb.Write)
Print sPath; " "; Access(sPath)
/tmp RW True
/tmp R True
/tmp W True
/tmp True
All files under the project directory (including any subdirectories created under the project directory) are treated as read-only despite any actual mode settings, even files set to permission mode
777 (full access read-and-write for owner, group and world), (ie:
Access("img/myImage.png") will never return
gb.Write).
Here is the reason: when making the executable, all project files are put inside the executable file, and so cannot be modified at runtime.
Use temporary files or create a special directory (dotfile) in the current user home directory.
Print Access("data/img/myImage.png", gb.Write)
False ' Even after performing: chmod 777 "PathToMyProject/img/myImage.png"
