This is where I would focus. The administrator account is not different in 
regards to running applications. Get the program running under the 
administrator account. THEN with the scheduler, THEN you can turn to the user 
accounts. It sounds like there are several problems.

Don't compond the problem with VB4. You will need to setup all new data 
sources as soon as you go to 32bits.
