Hi all,

I'm still having some troubles getting DX Base 2007 to function under
Win7/32-bit. I've got Peter, W2IRT to help a bit, and we got as far as
setting up the app and moving the databases over, but the problem is
launching DX Base now.

I have the app installed to C:\DXBase 2007.

I can do it one of two ways:
1) Run as administrator and get the UAC prompt every time I go to run it.
Say yes and it runns as normal.
2) Try to start NOT as administrator and it fails. It seems something's
hard-coded in there to look for files in C:\Program Files\Scientific
Solutions\DX Base 2007.  The error I get when I have it set to
non-administrator mode is "Couldn't find file 'C:\Program Files\Scientific
Solutions\DXbase 2007\refdata.mdb.'

What can I do to keep UAC functional on the computer but not have DX Base
nag for it on DX Base startup?
