Jordan,

I for one don't have a clue as to what "codes" you are trying to access. Can you give us a little more detail.

>now i have the code to gain access to the hardware codes i need, well at least for the local hardware. my only issue is that the codes i need have to be obtained from a server. is the only way to do this by creating an out-of-process automation server (.exe) on the server?
