Mike:

SET DEFAULT definitely doesn't work. I needed a way for the web service to be able to set relative paths. This is why a put the code in the INIT. It seems to work.

Now I need to find out when the INIT is actually called. I see that COM+ is activating and deactivating (JIT) the object between method calls. Does this mean the INIT is going to fire each time I make a method call?

Thanx,
Charlie
