As Kevin said, it is a documented 'feature' fixed in 5.3.x but there is a
workaround registry change which will get standard users working fine.. we do
it on Win2k and XP workstations... here is a snippet from our notes..
Hope that helps..

If SBClient is installed on Win2k/XP workstations, and the users will not have
Administrator privilege, then you need to make the following changes (as
documented on the SBClient install CD):
Windows 2000 changes the default permissions for Users (that is, restricted
users) in KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry branch from Read/Write to Read only.
To solve it, registry entries for BTRieve Technologies need to be expanded.
Here is the general install procedure, with additional steps explained:
- install SBClient on Windows 2000 as previously described, i.e. as power user
(or administrator)
- after the installation, invoke 'regedt32' via Start Menu:Run option.
- find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Btrieve Technologies.
- click on 'Security' option on menu bar select Permissions option.
- when the dialog comes up, click on 'Advanced' button.
- select the 'Users' group (or the appropriate user group for your setup).
- IMPORTANT: in addition to the default permissions of:Query Value, Enumerate
Subkeys, Notify and Read Control
add:Set Value, Create Subkey and Delete.
This will be displayed in the entries list as a separate line with 'Special'
Permissions.
In addition, if the boot disk is NTFS, go to WINNT directory and locate BTrieve
log files
mkdewe.trn and mkdemsg.log. Change the permissions for these files to allow
access for all
(i.e. tick all the checkboxes on 'Security' tab).
If you now save the changes, SBClient will work fine.

I believe it's a documented issue that you must be a local
administrator to use SBClient on the PC.

After installation of SB Client, the administrator can run it fine,
but a domain user gets a message that "Ardent Software\.....\TU is not
a valid acct."
Has anyone seen/been able to resolve this?
TIA,
Paul
