Hi Tony

I don't know if this will work on this app or not but this is what works for
Quickbooks (Thanks Kevin and Lanwench). Create a Users Group for that App
and put the users who need access in that Group. Give that Group Full
control of the folder containing the application on the server and each WS
if run from WS. Go into regedt32 and find all keys associated with that app
and right click and select permissions and give the Group full control. If
this is Terminal Server then this is only there otherwise it will have to be
on each WS :-(

Again I can only say this worked for QB on TS. It may work for you and it
may not. Lots of luck.
