The software will not install in all configurations
as ADO is not installed.  Installing the latest version
of ADO from http://www.microsoft.com/data/ may resolve
any problems.

The software will not produce computer users lists
from secure workgroup secured databases 

Thanks for taking the time to review our software.
Let us know the good, the bad and the ugly as it
is the only way to improve the software.
