>Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean. I've set DCOMCNFG for both my specific com sever's class, and default settings... Rick's book did say it was tricky to set up w/o a user, but didn't really go into details as to how to do it (unless I missed it somewhere). The KB article from MS (
Q171357 - HOWTO: Get FoxISAPI Running Without Logging on to Server) seemed to indicate that you just needed to set the DCOMCNFG settings.
Hi Ken,
As I said it was a guess on my part based on what I know about CoCreateInstance(). Perhaps if I explained (or otherwise) provided what it does, it might help you.
Accordingly to the Win32 SDK: "Creates a single uninitialized object of the class associated with a specified CLSID. Call CoCreateInstance when you want to create only one object on the local system. To create a single object on a remote system, call CoCreateInstanceEx. To create multiple objects based on a single CLSID, refer to the CoGetClassObject function."
As you know, a CLSID is a class identifier of the object. My thinking was that without a user, no object (and therefore no CLSID) was being created. You probably know a lot more about this than I do. I wouldn't even call this a SWAG, just a WAG< g >.
