Re: [DUG]: BDE Problems

[Paul Mckenzie]

From what I can see the BDE requires access (as the executing user) to the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Database Engine" The BDE directory issue can be avoided by saving the config file to an accessible directory - but the same issue of accessing as the executing user still applies.   Regards Paul McKenzie Analyst Programmer SMSS ltd.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Kyley Harris To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 1:13 PM Subject: RE: [DUG]: BDE Problems i think what is happening is that you have a few security concious people going overboard and limiting client side access to specific needed registry keys.   other than that comment there is no help here :P -----Original Message----- From: Paul Mckenzie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 21 March 2003 11:40 a.m. To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: BDE Problems Help,   We have a large app that uses the BDE (D6 + IB6). One of our sites has very restricted W2K users (non "power users") and they have problems trying to run our app. If the users are made power users - it works (but, they won't do that !) If we give each user full access to the BDE directory and BDE Registry key (under HKey_Local_Machine) - it works. They don't want to do this - we didn't have to do this in the past... Anyone know why this is happening ?   Regards Paul McKenzie Analyst Programmer SMSS ltd.
