Hi there,


I am using a activeX dll to write to a excel template. The .dll works perfectly on one web site of mine. It does require the IWAM (IIS launch) to have write right on the folder where final Excel files have to be saved.

WHen the dll is called on the first web site the IWAM user lauchs excel.exe, generate the file and shuts excel correctly. (i have verified this using windows task manager)

When I execute the dll on the new website is attempts to launch excel using the IUSR (internet guest account) that is not authorised to execute any executable on the file system.

How can i force IIS to use IWAM user instead IUSR on a determined file?

Life is what happens when you are making other plans.
 
Use the IIS Admin tool to change this...

IUSR is the default account for anonymous access so you could perhaps change the default account or, alternatively, disable anonymous access.
