You'll probably need to either run those ODBC Services as a local Administrator account (domain Admin should be unncessary) or use regedt32 to adjust permission on the appropriate keys or hives by adding permission for a non-Administator account.
You could use the free utility RegMon to monitor which registry entries are being touched. See http://www.sysinternals.com Assuming that you're doing this so that you can use remote *.mdb Access databases shared from another machine, you'd have to grant permission on those mdb files for the user account that the ODBC Services run as. -- Steven Erat http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/ -- On 1/18/06, Russel Madere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I need help setting the CF ODBC Server and CF ODBC Agent to run as a > specific user.
