Permission setting for a Shared COM

[sherryq]

Hi All,

The Scenario:
-------------

Two PC's A and B connected via LAN. A has a DLL in one of its directories and that directory is shared completely with B.

The Problem:
------------
The DLL acceses a local database. When I try using it from the PC B, error is returned, "Permission Denied".

The Questions:
--------------
1.Is there some extra permision setting for DLL's ?
2.Is'nt it enogh that the DLL is configured in MTS on PC A?
3.Is there some place in MTS where these permissions are to be set ?

Long one Huh !!

Please do mail me if you have any solutions or answers

Hey Sherry

Export the MTS Package from computer A and run it on computer B

but is it possible to have MTS and DLLs on computer A and run application from computer B (B without MTS)? What I try to do is sending a mail from MTS and I fail. I get the "Permission denied" message.

Best wishes,
Syl

Yes, you can remotely launch a DCOM ActiveX Exe server on another computer without MTS, but they are a major pain in the butt to get all of the dcom permission settings correct (trust me on this one :) )

MTS/COM+ makes the entire process much much easier
