Thanks for the info, but now I am really confused... <g>

>> 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! <<

I want to run it from the server. I am doing a CreateObjectEx() from the NT server which then it loads through the network. I don't even think I need it registered on the client. Do I?

I have looked for the file CLNTREG32.EXE, but do not see it on my Win98 or Win2K machine. Where do I find this file?

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

I am going to look into this one as well, maybe it will help me understand the complete DCom scenrio.

Thanks
