:(
I am looking for reference material related to an overview of what has to be done to an existing VB6 / MS Access app to allow it to run on a Windows Vista machine with UAC on and a standard user logged in.

The application uses ADO / MDAC 2.8.

It looks like the registry lookups that ADO needs to do are one of the causes for the program to be elevated to Admin mode by the UAC.

Is there a book available? Does anyone have experience with this?

I am dreading hearing that I have to rewrite it in VB.Net.

Please help!!

Well.. I can tell you about our experience.. we have several system in vb 6/5 connection to access databases, and the only way to make them work in vista was giving the program admin permision to run.. not the user, but the programs...

Unfortunately, I need the program to run under Standard User. The program interfaces with QuickBooks through the QuickBooks API and the only way the interface works is if both QuickBooks and my program are running as Standard User.
If I turn off the UAC, the interface works fine because my program doesn't get elevated to administrator.

Does anyone else have any info on what the requirements are for a VB6 / Access program to run under standard user? I am starting to think that ADO OLEDB is the problem.
