restoring user profile to another user (copying profile)
I came across a problem related to some tweaks/settings in MS Office, OCX registration etc.. Older users (profiles) on Windows 2003 TS have no problem opening databases in MS Access, new user names can't open them due to misconfiguration. all users are connecting via RDP with 2003 TS.
Is there a way to duplicate 'old_user' profile to 'new_user' including local profile and registry settings? I can't get it to work since most of required changes were never documented, it'll take really long time trying to find out what needs to be set.
Appreciate any help.

What is the error message you receive when you try to open them and is there any corresponding errors in event viewer?

The error message is related to OCX (discontinued product) it is 100% related to MS Access DB. there are several settings which no longer can be replicated. I am hoping to use one of the working profiles for new users.
Is it possible that this is simply a permissions issue, new users need to be added into a specific group? Check working user profiles, do they have an odbc connection configured?

Problem solved, the answer I was looking for was provide by "atsvirginia" however copying a profile didn't work so I was forced to investigate it further therefore taking "Sid_F's" suggestion.
The problem was not with the profile itself since all settings on TS were applied to all users. The problem was related with a way some user names/passwords were created in the database. Recreating them in MS Access fixed the problem.
