Hi Dale,

i think you missed something, evey logon for windows 98 uses personalized settings. If you use Createobjectex(...) (DCOM) you register the component on the nt server. Thats good, but if you want to use it on client machines it has to be registered on those clients! This has to be done with CLNTREG32.EXE
(See the help CLTNREG32.EXE /?)

than the clients know where to find the component on the server.

If another uer accesses your win98 machine its personalized settings dont know where to look at, so you must register the compont with clntreg for every user!

Another solution might be to set the security options on the ntserver using DCOMCnFG. Set the option for ANONYMOUS user on.

hope this helps,
