I am writing my own ActiveX control

[swilliams]

I am writing my own ActiveX control, and have a project group. When I go to run the test project (set as start up project) I get the error "Permission Denied". The projects / project group save OK.

Any ideas?? Is this a windows 2000 thing?? Do I have to log in as Administrator to get around this problem?? (This usually does the trick with errors like this, but the administrator password has recently been changed and so I cannot test this).

TIA

Hi

There could be various factors contributing to this behaviour.
What does your ActiveX control do on initialisation?

It could all boil down to the rights you have on that machine if the code is doing some stuff that requires admin rights.

Hope this helps

The code is not doing anything special, but it was a permissions thing. (I thought I previously posted the outcome of this - but I guess not). I managed to get a hold of the admin password, logged on as administrator and then it worked.
