Configuration – Domain
users.
A normal domain
user not having administrator rights will normally be unable to run a program
based on the Borland Database Engine (BDE). This is due to missing rights on
workstations running Windows NT/2000/XP. Workstations running Windows98/ME do
not have this problem as they have only little means of security.
First the domain user
must be granted rights to read and edit the properties in the Borland sub key
for the local machine in the registry.
This is done –
logged in as administrator - as follows:
-
Go to Start | Run… Type regedt32.
-
Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine.
-
Double-click SOFTWARE.
-
Click once on BORLAND.
-
From the menu at the top, select Security |
Permission…
-
Click on Add…
-
Double-click “Domain Users” or “Everybody”.
-
Under “Type of Access”, select “Full Control” and
click OK
-
Click OK to exit the Registry Key Permissions
dialog box.
-
Exit the Registry Editor window
You also may have
to grant rights to the folder “C:\Program files\Borland” assuming that the BDE
is installed there. This is done as follows:
-
Open Explorer and open the folder “C:\Program
files”.
-
In the right pane select the folder “Borland”
-
Right-click the folder and select “Properties” in
the bottom of the appearing menu.
-
In the “Properties” dialog box, select the
“Security” tab.
-
Click on Add…
-
Double-click “Domain Users” or “Everybody”.
-
Under “Type of Access”, select “Full Control” and
click OK
-
Click OK to exit the “Properties” dialog box.
