Justin,
Thanks, but I solved the problem very shortly after posting. Turned out it
was a permissions issue after all, but not with the CF server. The problem
was with the software for which the COM object was designed. The software
was written entirely in UNIFace (don't know if you've heard of it), however,
one of the configuration files was mapping the objects using UNC notation,
which was causing the problems when passwords were changed. The UNIFace
developer changed this to an absolute drive path and all worked fine.
