>If this is Win2k Server, then it may be a security thing. If you made all of those changes in Dcomcfg that I mentioned, then you might want to reboot and see if it works. There was someone a while back in one of the other vFP categories who was running Amyumni in a vfp MTDLL IF you want to search for it. Other than that, I guess you could try running under COM+...
>>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.

>>>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.
