Hi Al, I've got a possible solution for you, if you're using COM+. It's kind of a stretch if you've never used COM+ but it has some huge benefits.
Try installing the COM-component IN COM+ on the DATA/File-server using local pathing. Then export the class from COM+ as an Application proxy Install this export on your web server. Now when calling the COM-object from ASP, the call is automagically routed through DCOM to the DATA-server where the actual code is run locally. Then the result is ported back through DCOM to the webserver/ASP-page. The benefit here is that the VFP COM object doesn't need to retrieve all the indexes/data over the network cable but is run locally. There's a slight overhead on the network for the call marshalling but in my experience this is far less thn retrieving all the indexes/data over the network for execution on the web-server. There's still a security issue because the settings for execution on the COM+ application are all done on the data-server. Most of the settings are disabled on the COM+proxy application on the web server. Maybe it's a trick to investigate on a dark rainy day...;) Regards, Sietse Wijnker -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Al Verzonden: dinsdag 28 augustus 2007 14:32 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: More web services Hi Foxgang I seem to be getting a new problem every time the last one gets solved. Its web services again and Im getting to grips with it but the next bit Im stuck at. I can access the dll from the local user and see network drives but not from the web service. In fact all my assigns do not appear if I do drivetype. I assume this is rights but Im not sure how best to deal with it. It really a matter that the data is on another server and I need to access it. I have tried the "RevertToSelf()" api and it doesn't work. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. Maybe a setting on IIS to allow access ? TIA Allen No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
