>Do you mean by registering the COM object with DCOM and remoting the object or are you saying you can run a COM object with user rights other than the current process?. If the later, how do you do that?

Run the COM object remotly, preferably in MTS. You assign the package to run under a particular user id. It's this user id that will have rights to the data...not the user.
