Things are slightly nastier than that. This may apply to other classes of apps.... but my experience is limited to ...
If you install ODBC related stuff while logged in as administrator.... than those items NEVER work for any other user on that pc. If the said items are first installed as an user than they will work for all users. Once you find this problem and seek the web you will see thousands of frustrated developers writing their own utilities to fix the registry entries.... even MS acknowledge the stuff up but is not moved to help. ie... another SNAFU by MS... probably deliberate. If I sound paranoid its because I do learn from History. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of list delphi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 30 August 2002 10:23 AM Subject: [DUG]: Windows 2000 Registry > I have an app that access's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\xxxx\xxx.
