Check Users Permissions Before Executing Code

I have a file I created which works fine for me, on my machine at least but there are two issues I'm trying to sort out.

The first issue is I need to share the file with others who may not have the same access rights. I have something loading in the Workbook_Open event which I want to bypass for users who do not have access to a specific folder. So I was trying to check their access using Dir(path) = "" at the top level folder to see if any files are present (which there are). My assumption was that if it finds files it's safe to assume they have permission and it's ok to continue, otherwise they don't in which case I want abort the rest of the code. This seems to work fine for me but I tried testing with someone I know does not have access and it gave her a compile error.

Part of the code in macro utilizes FileSystemObject which seems to be the line where the code bombs on my coworkers machine. The FSO seems related to appears related to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime reference, but it's not enabled on my machine or any of the others. I vaguely remember having to do something on my machine awhile back for the life of me don't remember what it was.

The second issue is an MS Forms error: "Could not load some objects because they are not available on this machine." appears when opening the file on three of the machines I tested but it does not appear on my machine. I've tried looking at the references and could not find any differences between the machines. I pored through various postings online and it appears it might be worth re-registering the DLL/OCX files but we need admin rights to do that so I will need to open a request with our support team.
