Re: Development considerations for Win XP

Jim,
Thanks for your reply. From my limited reading thus far, it appears this could be a major issue to deal with potentially. Microsoft advises developers to develop for the LUAs-the limited user accounts rather than under Administrator if apps are to work. Even major software vendors have failed to heed this caveat and their apps have bombed. This will be even more critical under Longhorn.
I'm still researching but for practicality will tell my users to install under Administrator mode until I can get the LUA version out.

An issue I ran into with Access 2000, XP and user permissions was the fact that a compact and repair will create the temporary file in the defined %TEMP% directory where it will inherit those properties.

Once copied back to the application directory the permissions are hosed. This is an Access 2000 only issue. I believe I solved it by modifying the permission of the %TEMP% folder.
