I don't know about the runas option - the app needs to run as per normal , it's just the BDE bit that needs to be able to write to it registry. When it comes down do it - The BDE shouldn't need to write to the registry, no configuration is being changed (that's what they want to stop - users fiddling) The Admin people come along - log in and do admin stuff when required!
