Vlad,

thanks for your reply. I have created a new local account with admin rights and I can see in my log that everthing is running with this account when using IIS. When I start the test.exe the log shows my userid. I've used dcomcnfg to indicate that this user must be used!
The problem is that the report is not sent to the print queue. I check this by putting the queue off-line. The test.exe shows the job in the queue (and waits until you bring it online), IIS does not create the job in the queue. At this moment all I can say is that everything works like a charm except the file is not created. I have no clue why this is happening. I still think it's a security issue

Any suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

Ron Brahma
