Access-MDB depending on the OS login ???

[Gabriel Maraqa]

Hello Newsgroup

I'm currently having a problem with an Access-MDB (2002)
running on Windows XP. Running the application under a
login with the permissions of a user or poweruser causes
the application to hang during an operation. The
applications works only if I use a OS login with local
administrative permissions. Unfortunately there is no
error message indicating where the problem occurs but by
stepping through the code I saw the there is a "eternal"
loop when not using the proper access rights.

Has anyone a good idea? Any input is highly appreciated.

Kind regards

Gabriel

Often, we place our application in :

c:\programs Files\My CoolApp\cool.mdb

I used the above location for years and years. It turns out, that now when
you setup restrictions on pc's, often users will NOT have read/write ability
in the directly where the application runs (this often will cause a problem
with ms-access).

So, this means that may have some permissions problems in the directories.
Try moving the application to somewhere else (perhaps the desktop for
example), and see if that changes anything...

Hi Albert


Thank you for your feedback. I have allready tried that. I
copied the access files to a directory where everyone has
full control. I am looking forward to you next input.

Kind regards

So, what is the code doing?

If the file permissions are right, the next thing to
check is the registry permissions.
