While testing my software a friend of mine got the following Error: "Access to the database file is not allowed. [File name = ...etc..." I found out that this has to do with the user rights in Vista (perhaps also XP). How can I solve this?

I created a vb application and I'm trying to deploy it. However, it needs to be run as administrator, which is not ideal as several machines I'm deploying it to can't access the administrator account. The odd part is that the development environment isn't on an administrator account. When I double click the compiled executable it runs fine. When I right click and choose Run As Current User the program crashes and gives me the same error I got when trying it on the target machines(without access to the administrator account.)
