I have an access 2000 database running under WIN XP. There is no password on the database. I have a VB.NET application that connects using "ADMIN" and no password. All of the users of this computer that have ADMIN level security under WIn XP can use the application fine. I have one user that has LIMITED XP Security priveleges, but if they attempt to use the VB.NET application the .NET framework throws an exception with the message that this user does not have permission to the database - even though they are using an application that connects using ADMIN and no password

How can I allow the LIMITED user to run the application?
 
You are confusing the default Admin user (that's part of Access security)
with the Admin windows permissions. They have nothing to do with each
other. Since you did not secure the Access mdb using Access security, it is
not necessary for you to connect using 'Admin' with no password (that will
happen by default).

The message that the user is getting is related to the fact that they have
LIMITED XP privileges. Users need modify permission on the folder where the
mdb file is located.
