Please log in for more thread options Thanks for your reply, James. Most interesting. I thought I'd seen some
hacks to the registry that made QB Pro 6 work with non-admin users. However,
that was with XP. Who knows what will happen with Vista. All in all, I'm
wondering if Vista will be worth the effort. I like a lot of the features of
Vista, but XP has performed well. Eventually we will all be in a Vista
environment. I'm not sure the upgrade is really worth the hassle at this
time. I really appreciate your comments.
