Question : Registering mscal.ocx

I am having trouble with mscal.ocx and Windows7 machines with Standard user permissions (MS Access 2003).

I have a form that has a calendar embeded onto it (using mscal.ocx).  If the User is set with Administration rights then everything is fine.  However, if they are set to Standard permission, when the form loads, it comes up with a pop-up dialog box indicating that it is installing Access 2003 (I'm guessing that it is trying to register the MSCAL.ocx control for first time use (for that user) - but is unable to update a registry/file setting).  Since it cannot flag that the control as registered/working  - it always pops up (even though it is all displayed correctly).

If I give the user Administrator rights and open up the form - it does not even seem to flash up with the installer message (although I am guessing that it is doing something on first-run - in the background).  I can then set the user permissions back to Standard and it works - but this isn't ideal.

I am using SageKey software for my installer package (a really good product that gives lots of control).  This will allow me to update registry, or run a batch files etc - during the installation and am wondering if I can register this .ocx file at that time - for ALL USERS.

Any ideas?

Thanks as always.

Answer : Registering mscal.ocx

By far the easiest MySQL front-end for Windows is HeidiSQL: http://www.heidisql.com/
Check out screenshots of features here: http://www.heidisql.com/screenshots.php

All you need to know for a connection is:
.Hostname/IP of server
.DB user name
.Password
.Port (normally 3306)

The connection will be made via TCP/IP on the specified port.
Of course, the MySQL daemon on the Linux server must be configured to allow remote administration login. In shared hosting, this setting can usually be set from the hosting panel, if you have a root server that you administer yourself, you may have to change the MySQL config file.
