Dave | If you write database application using DBISAM and install it
on an XP Pro computer with User Rights, will the program function? I am simply curious as I write a simple database using DBISAM but it always seems to need to be run as an administrator to function? Thank you |

Yes, it will function, given that there will be no registry keys (i.e., HKLM), drivers which need to be registered or other items which require administrative rights to install in the first place. Will you be using local file access or client server? From your message it appears that it might be a simple desktop type of application. There is nothing in DBISAM which will prevent you from installing the database you describe below with User Rights and accessing/running it with User Rights. I have done the same thing on numerous occasions with no problems. -- Regards, Jan Ferguson [Team Elevate] Dave wrote: <<If you write database application using DBISAM and install it <<on an XP Pro computer with User Rights, will the program function? << <<I am simply curious as I write a simple database using DBISAM <<but it always seems to need to be run as an administrator to function? |

Dave | Thank you Jan,
I think the problem these days is that IT administrators are going to town on Group Policy. I have a program that doesnt use the Registry and puts the data files in C:\Users\TheirName\AppData\Local\MyDatabase This is the only place it writes and reads apart from its own directory, which only contains the exe. Of and I use the system temp path to store the DBISAM temp files. It must be group policy that is blocking it.

Thats right they have all done the MS course, by them I mean spotty teenagers who didnt do to well at school but his granny thinks he is a whizz on computers, coz he is in his room all day. So she funds a course for an MS ticket to wreak havoc on someones network. > I have a program that doesnt use the Registry and puts the data files in > C:\Users\TheirName\AppData\Local\MyDatabase > This is the only place it writes and reads apart from its own directory, > which only > contains the exe. > Of and I use the system temp path to store the DBISAM temp files. > > It must be group policy that is blocking it. > I dont think you are far wrong there ;-( Rita |
