Graig,

thanks, I will look into the articles you have pointed out.
I still have not been able to determine why this problem is occuring. Registering the server is fine, usage is not. This problem only occurs on a W2K-server, when copying all files to other machines and registering everything works fine. The problem (as usual) I need to implement it on the server...

Regards,
Ron
