Thanks gman,
I found the little rodent with your help. Yet another
thing I did not know. I had no idea that registry keys
could have access rights defined and that they could
be defined by a software install without my knowledge.
This came about by an attempt to get data from an old
app that ran under Access 97. Acch!!! May Linux and
Open Source live long and prosper.
