I meant "to eliminate any potential UAC and administrative privilege 
problems from fouling up our tests."  I'm trying to get a baseline to see if 
*any* ADO works on your system.  Using a Jet driver and connecting to an MDB 
is just to get a base.  If that works then we can go from there.

Emailed.

Understandable.  If there is any way you can set up a test SQLServer DB that 
allows explicit user/password access then that may help in diagnosing this 
problem.

One thing I forgot to mention in the email I sent is that all Vista apps 
should have a security manifest regardless of their need for administrative 
privileges.  If your app will never need admin privileges (or won't most of 
the time until elevation is required) then the res will be the same but 
instead of the text "requireAdministrator" it should read "asInvoker".
