Compiling ActiveX EXE

[keenanbr]

I have inherited an ActiveX EXE from someone who is no longer with the company. I have made all the components read/write but when I try to compile, the .exe is created but I get the error message 'Permission denied'. The .exe's name is 'Quotemaster.exe' and this is included in the 'Related Documents'.

The program compiles on another machine without any problems.

can anyone shed any light onn this?

Regards,

Do you have the full permissions to be able to write to your computer's registry?

the 'Permission Denied' error also occurs in the IDE as soon as i hit F8 to debug.

I rebuilt the pc in question and the problem has gone away. I guess I'm not going to find the cause but thanks for your replies.
