Thanks, I should have known that and it's probably the decided lack of caffiene this morning that clouded things! I've found a few articles and am going through them now that the coffee is doing its magic. I am quite familar with DCOM, I run DCOM services on my NT IIS box. The principles are the same, like I said "Decided lack of caffiene" this morning.
