Subject Re: Run As Administrator From michael <michael@itntgroup.com.au> Date Wed, 01 May 2019 22:41:33 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi Bruce/Andy, I would rather run it in my own private directory c:\RT9999 and I use Set directory for that but it seems that if I dont run it as administrator it looks for the program in the windows32\system folder regardless. So, then If I run as Administrator then windows wont execute it in the startup folder. So, what i am asking is why does dbase need to run as Administrator? Can we work around it? I already set directories depending on users. Regards, Michael.
