Right click the icon for dBASE on the desktop, go to "Properties", try clicking "Compatibility" tab at the top, and checking "Run this program as and administrator". See if that does the trick. (You can also simply right click and select "Run as administrator"). This will require the user to answer the UAC dialog about "Do you want this app to make changes ...?" (or wording to that effect). However, it would run the program.
