>Thanks, Craig (and others) for help in locating the option pack. It didn't come up in a search on the Microsoft site but I guess that's not surprising since they really wants us to by Windows 2000! I'm glad to know it's still available.

>Without trying your patience, I could use a bit of explanation as to how this architecture would work in this case. Since the technique explained in your article creates a DLL rather than an EXE, in what process does it run?
It runs in MTS.
>Is the client the off site web server with the ASP page that needs the data or it's client, the user's machine with the browser? The only "application" I had planned to have on the workstation was the COM server whose job is to receive the parameters, query the Novell server and return a formatted data string. If we move this process to another machine haven't we lost the link with the data, or worse, created a big security hole? Security is their big concern; that's why the IT department nixed IIS in the first place.
The client will be the workstation. I don't know why they have a problem with IIS. It can be made very secure.
