CreateObject - How do you get it to work?

[benski]

How do you create an object on a remote / network server?

I just can't seem to get it started - always get error 70 Permission Denied.

How do I give my program the appropriate rights?

Furthermore - how would I specify a web-server as the machine to create the object on?

Any ideas??

Are you using ADO?

[benski]

Yes, I will be.

It's for a client/server database application with the server application (on a web-server) being the object that I want to create from the client.

This is just the most simple test to see if I can create an object on a remote server though.

Do I need to use MTS for this?

Using MTS is best. Make sure the account the package runs under is a local administrator on the machine. Create an export package and run it on the client machine. Make sure DCOM is enable on the client and configured properly on the remote machine.

Thanks Kromba,

I'm a newbie to MTS - I've read a couple of overview article and I'm relatively comfortable with the concept and principles of it, but...

What library do I add to my project to get "ObjectContext" etc. Can this be donw with VB 6 Pro or do I have to have Enterprise.

I haven't seen the MTS Explorer application people keep on about.
