Claude,
Well here is the status. After registering (prntpdf.exe /regserver) and configuring DCOMCNFG I don't get the error anymore, but the page just hangs.
I know the createobject() function worked bacause I added a little strtofile() in the init() for the class that adds some text to a txt file with a timestamp. But after the init() I don't think anything happends.

Here is the code from the vfp mtdll:

loPrntPdf = CREATEOBJECT("prntpdf.prntpdf")
lnRetVal = loPrntPdf.PrintToPdf(tcPdfFile,tcFrxFile,tcDbfFile)

The acctual printing to a pdf file is done in the PrintToPdf() method.

I can see that PrntPdf.exe is running in the taskmanager on the web server.

If you have any hints regarding this i would appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Einar

>You need to use DCOMCNFG to set up the .EXE server called from the MTDLL. You must run DCOMCNFG on PDFrun.AVFPpdf or whatever your EXE server is prior to using it. Under DCOMCNFG Security, add Custom Access and Custom Launch permissions for the IUSR, IWAM, and ASPNET accounts. You may need to register too, in which case just use regsvr32.
