VBA ERROR LOADING PROJECT ON WINDOWS 2000

AKOs, When I select Tools|Macro|VBA Manager and select New; On NT 4.0 service pack 6, PCs VBA loads a new project or existing project just fine. On Windows 2000 pro, I get an "Error loading project" if I am not logged in as local admin, so for most of our users, it's not working. I figure it's a permissions issue in the registry. What are the registery keys that need to be changed to allow a user to load a VBA project or create a new one? Any ideas? Tim

Are they Power Users? They have to have at least
those rights, or Admin.

They are not in the Power Users Group. We have found the registery keys that allows AutoCad 2000 to work for a regular user. We are looking for those keys in the registry that will unlock the VBA too. Our IT group does not want users in the Power Users Group....There are holes in the security...

Well that is probably your problem. It is a *requirement* that users are
power users with 2000. Try changing a couple of them to power user and
see if the issue resolves itself. If it does, you have two options -
grant them the rights or upgrade to 2004 [which doesn't require power
user rights]. Not much help, but until your environment meets the
minimum software requirements, there is not much we can do to help.

Actually it is not a 'requirement' but a convenience....
We have found the registry keys that allow a regular user the ability to run A2k without giving away the farm. We are close to knowing what the VBA keys too. I had thought that someone on this site would have found this already...sorry if I assumed too much.....I know that AutoDesk knows, but they will probably not tell....unsupported you know.....:)

Thnx...Tim
