Ouch, That sounds complicated although getting that to work could help me out in other ways (like getting an application to protect data files from users)
I'll have a look into the permissions and try to see what exactly is getting denied.

This user has no rights outside the inetpub folder. Try putting the MTDLL inside a COM+ application, setting it up to impersonate. That way the MTDLL gets called from within IIS but runs under credentials you can specify (and during debugging it's not needed to reset IIS when updating the dll file) Regards, Sietse Wijnker -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Robert Jennings Verzonden: dinsdag 14 augustus 2007 10:58 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Running a batch file from VFP MTDLL Hi all, I've been banging my head against the screen for 2 days trying to solve this one:- I'm creating a batch file to create self extracting zip files which is working fine. This will package up Workstation, Application and Data files into a self extracting zip for application installation. I can run the following command from the command window ! c:\test\setup.bat 110 I can also run this ! &lccommand (Where lccommand="c:\test\setup.bat 110" 110 is a parameter for the batch file.) Both work fine. However, when I compile the code up as a MTDLL and create an object of the DLL and get IIS to run it the ! command doesn't seem to work. It causes a HTTP500 error. I've tried Shellexe to no avail. That returns error code 5 which is Access Denied, but everyone has full control in C:\test\ (for testing purposes) and the DLL can create a text file in that folder. Any idea's?
