Admin Permissions question

[Richter]

This may be a n00b question but I am pretty new with WinXP. I am setting up a point of sale box at work and I need the employees to be on a restricted login. Do I have to install software twice? Once for admin and again for each user? (in this case I only have 2 accounts)

Some of the software needs to be admin only but some need to be accessed from both accounts. There is probably an easy way to do this without installing on each acount, right? (what I have been doing)

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Depends on the software. Some have a "network" install for multiuser machines, ie: Office, others just require setting the permissions correctly to allow users on use the program.

Which software are you talking about?

I'm trying to use QS2000, it's a Point of sale program. When I try to start it from the "employee" login it gives me an error saying the database is in use or I need permission to access it. I'm just noticing that it also does this even when I grant "admin priviledge" to the employee login.

That is the database isue. Check your database manual on how to setup security.
