Can you confirm that this also applies to ElevateDB server running as an
application on Vista?

Thanks,

I was just going to link to that page.

As for the issue - this is going to be an issue for *any* application, be it
a server or a single-user database application accessing databases locally.
I will make sure that the necessary steps are taken in the ElevateDB Server,
and then share them with everyone in a technical bulletin.
