hi Mark, actually I have used dcomcnfg to set the various accesses. Now I'm at loss, since I have looked at all the various tabs and settings available, and it seems that all refer to enabling DCOM (which I did) and granting access (which I think I did). But I will continue trying... I've googled around and found many VB users stumbling on the same problems. Only problem is, I didn't stumble on the posts with the solution :-)

In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
