No, the compiler knows nothing about who is and isn't an administrator, so
that can't be it (which doesn't mean that it won't work on your boss'
machine).

Can you post a complete example that doesn't compile for you? (Something
small - not your entire app. Frequently attempting to make a small program
that reproduces the problem will lead you to discover what's really wrong).

-cd
