Application error on windows startup only.

Hello,
I'm running into a strange problem getting my application up and
running with Embedded XP. I'm not sure were exactly the problem is so
I'm hoping someone can at least point me in the right direction.

Here's the situation. I have an Embedded XP working fine. The
application will run perfectly if started manually. But if I put it in
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" then
the application throws the following error: "ExecuteReader requires an
open and available Connection. The connection's current state is
Closed." The application is attempting to accessing a mdb using Jet and
OLEDB at that point.

If I put a shortcut to application in the startup folder it starts up
fine. Which worked great until I decided to try and make the
application act as the shell, now I'm having the same issue.

I'm guessing this must have something to do with system versus user
permissions or something like that.

Thanks for any help you can give.

-Dave
