So, are you saying you don't need elevation to call this server, you only need it for other parts? Can you spawn the COM access into a separate process? — Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
