Hi, While trying to create an object from the client ( remotely) i get the "Access denied" error. I have made sure that the security setting are correct by giving myself full control, that didn't help. This used to work until i modified the dcomcnfg setting to run application on local computer as well as the remote one ( basically i checked both boxes, after restoring original setting hell the Access denied error started appearing. any ideas?? * i know i have access to the remote machine as i have access to files on it through explorer. :confused: Alii
