I have a Delphi 5 application (using BDE 5.1.1 and dbase tables) which generates an error when running on a workstation to which the user does not have administrator rights (W2K). The error is the generic "program.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created." The program and data are both stored on a network drive to which the user has full control. The BDE files are installed locally to the workstation.

If the user is placed in the local administrators group for the workstation, they can use the program fine. However, our security policy requires the workstation to be somewhat "locked down" for the users. The user even gets the error message when placed in the "Power Users" local group.

We have other Delphi applications running (on other machines, granted) that do not have this issue. Can anyone provide some light on this situation? I'm at a loss!!
