Ed,

the com-server is an exe. I did this because I use an external report-writer to created a postscript file that is turned into a pdf-file by Adobe Distiller. Everything works fine on my machine but it refused to work on a server. It appears I made a typo in its ini-file. Having implemented a solution suggested by Evan Delay this was shown directly. I corrected and the server is now up and running.

Thanks for your help,

Ron Brahma

>>Having installed the com-server on a W2000-server I experience a problem. It doesn´t work. I have created a method that exposes the com-server on a webpage so I now it is present and that is can be called. When I call the method to create a report, something is happening but it returns no results at all. I have some logging features but nothing is written into the log. The com-server does not generate any errors (?). I have some problems with determing the problem. I have the webserver running on a user with admin-rights (!) but I still can´t get it to work.

>Is the server in a .DLL? VFP .DLLs canot have any UI components in them, which includes the VFP report writer and commands like ?/??/???, and if the server is an .EXE, it runs out of the context of the the currently-executing process, which might disallow redirection of the output back into the context of IIS. A bit more detail is needed here.
