22. COM error 0x5. Access is denied.
Although this isn't a COM error per se, it is seen largely when using COM objects
by client
services (i.e., ColdFusion) that do not have sufficient access to an object. By
default, ColdFusion
is given access to the local system account, which on NT and 2000 will not allow
you to run many
objects, such as the ones provided by MS Office.
To fix this problem, one way is to assign ColdFusion services administrative
access. Go to your
"Services" control panel in NT or 2000 (you shouldn't get 'Access Denied' on 95 or
98). Next,
you have to alter the 3 services' logon properties in the services control panel.
To do this,
on each ColdFusion service (ColdFusion Application Server, ColdFusion Executive,
and ColdFusion
RDS), right-click, choose "Properties", and then you'll see a tab at the top
labeled "Log On".
Click it, and you will then see "This Account", which is a radio button. Click the
"This Account"
button then click "Browse" to choose who to logon as, at which point you need to
choose
"Administrator".
On Windows NT, in the Services applet under the Control Panel, select the service
and click on the
"Startup" button (or double-click on the service). In the "Log On As:" groupbox,
select the "This
Account:" radio button, enter the account name (you can use the "..." button to
browse the account
list), and enter the password twice. A good thing to remember is that if the
password to the account
is ever changed, all services using that account as the logon must be updated or
they will
mysteriously fail at the next logon/reboot.
