Hi Bertl
If you are just calling the exe from the workstations, it runs on each workstation's box (no matter where the exe file is stored). So it does an application packaged as ActiveDocument (IE downloads it, and it runs locally)

The way to run your process on the server is to build it as a COM object (Outproc, Inproc or Multithreaded DLL) and access it from your workstations via remote COM (DCOM on NT4, COM+ on W2K) with CREATEOBJECT or CREATEOBJECTEX

Hope this helps and bye
