>Monte, you need to configure the "Default Security" in DCOMCNFG on your NT box to setup the Default Launch Permissions and Default Access Permissions to add the "Network" user. The custom permissions also may be configured individually for your COM EXE in its Properties/Security tab. Security configuration is up to you.

I was using Remote Automation on the Server Connection tab of the RACMGR32. Should I be using Distributed COM? I tried to select Distributed COM, however, ever time I select it then select Apply it reverts back to Remote Automation. Doesn't it have to be Distributed COM before I can use the DCOMCNFG?
