If both computers are not part of the same domain, you have to duplicate user accounts with the exact same password.

If the server component calls back to the client, this user must be configured to have access to the client machine on the default COM permission page in DCOMCNFG. Otherwise, sometimes the call back won't work.

I'll try on Monday using exe. Thanks again for your help.
