If the user is not administrator then place in do first otherwise if administrator do other code.

You could make the app invisible if the username is not in the administrators group if using active directory. The other alterative if not on active directory is to figure out if the current logged on user is an administrator instead of checking the username only.

I have found this article to demostrate what im talking about:

http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/153113-detect-if-user-has-admin-privileges/

Very useful because the 3-4 lines of code someone posted their does the job. Note: to use the code in above link run as administrator or if using task scheduler to run on multiple computers from your adminstrator computer make sure the account running the program  is an administrator and it displays not gui (have Me.Visible = false in load up form unless administrator that way the person cannot change settings).

The above does not check if the user has admin privileges but the linked to code does. You could be logged on as an assistant to the administrator and not have administarive privileges and have an account named administrator (however unlikely) or administrator account might be disabled.
