> SYS(0) will return the identity of the account that's running your COM component. Just add method to your server that returns this value. I tend to add a single status method to all COM servers that returns information like startup path, PATH, user id etc. so that i can see this information at a glance.

Thanks for the response Rick!
I do track SYS(0) and it shows:

SYS(0) - Network Machine Name = FRS-1 # IUSR_XXX-1

Also: SYS(5) shows
SYS(5) - DEFAULT drive = C:

This identity is our Internet Guest Account (Built-in account for anonymous access to Internet Information Services) so that our COM object can access different directories on the drive. The 'User Cannot Change the Password' option is set as is 'Password Never Expires'.

I access methods of my COM object via ASP. And my COM object is built with VFP 8.

My problem is that we have attached another server which I can map to if I remote in but not sure how to access from the COM.

-Thanks!

Hey! It's not my fault. It's some General named Protection!
