Is there a way for LIMITED Access user in WIN XP to use a VB.NET Front-end to MS Access database?

I have an access 2000 database running under WIN XP. There is no password on the database. I have a VB.NET application that connects using "ADMIN" and no password. All of the users of this computer that have ADMIN level security under WIn XP can use the application fine. I have one user that has LIMITED XP Security priveleges, but if they attempt to use the VB.NET application the .NET framework throws an exception with the message that this user does not have permission to the database - even though they are using an application that connects using ADMIN and no password.

There are two different program. One simply hosts a Crystal Report against the database. This works fine!!!
The other allows for updates to the tables. This is the one with the errors. It apepars that either WIN XP or .NET is "adding" some kind of restriction that grants the user with LIMITED access only READ-ONLY rights to the Database?

How can I allow the LIMITED user to run the application?
