>I immediately get the OLE error message "OLE error code ... Access is denied". I also tried building the EXE into a plainjane directory I created on the server and got the same results. Since I am building and trying to create the object interactively from the same account, I don't see how security would be an issue here. Nevertheless, I'm sure there's some security problem here but I don't know what it is, and unfortunately my knowledge of web servers and configurations is still in it's infancy. Any more thoughts you all have would be appreciated.

Bill,

I don't know what to tell ya... I just did this an it works fine (NT WorkStation). Also, as you say when you are on the same machine, you are using COM not DCOM so the COM object just runs since you don't need permission to run something locally. At least, I don't think you do.

Are you logging on as that machines Administrator? Or as a user on that machine that is equv to Admin, or a Domain account that is supposed to be an Admin?
