Brett,

>All PCs are hooked into the same network and have the same rights. Even so, I am running the app locally on the C: drive for testing. I'm guessing if rights were the issue I would never make it to the log in screen. Tables should already be open at that point. Besides, it works on Windows 2000 just fine.

Actually, the log in screen is the first time MM attempts access to your dbc(s). Anything opened before that is a free table (MetaDBC, MetaData) ... unless you've added something else to be opened.


>I'm leaning toward a missing depedency file that comes with Windows 2000, but not 98. Now using InstallShield Pro vs. Express to try to resolve this.

You may be onto something here. Are you using remote data? By default, MM uses registry settings to determine whether you're using remote/local data. If it can't find the setting, it defaults to local. We've had similar issues with NT/2000 when we switched to SQL data.
