 need admin rights to add controls

hello,

i administrer a network for a college.  the computers are running windows
2000 Professional with Visual Basic 6 installed.  My problem is that only
administrators can add controls and other users can't, not even power users.
if a user other than an administrator  tries adding some controls visual
basic compleletly shuts down and brings the user to the desktop.  i want to
try to avoid having to make all students administrators. has anyone seen
this behaviour before and is there a way around this.

thank you all,
joe

Joe,

Not familiar with your exact issue, but I have seen problems with VB6 when
the installation is done under the Admin profile, and then a different
profile signs on to use the software.  Various registry keys not migrated to
the new Current User settings, I believe.

If the software is re-installed whilst authenticated as the User themselves
these problems normally sort themselves out.

Cheers,
Neil
