Remote CreateObject() 1

[sifitz]

Hi,

I am trying to use CreateObject to access an object on a networked server and according to the help I need to give the name as such

Set objTest = CreateObject("class", "servername&quot

Possible solutions I have managed to find are:-
1. I need to turn off internet security - but I don't know how to do this and can't find anything on the web about it
2. Might need to add something to the registry - but I don't know what

Does anybody know how to get this to work?

Thanks

Si Fitz

You have to mark the component as Safe to launch on the server by creating an entry in the server's registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\ADCLaunch\<yourcomponentname>

Thanks Mark but I can't get this to work. It looks such a simple solution so I am hoping that I have just made a silly mistake.

I want to use CDONTS.NewMail on the server so I have created a Key on the server in the following location:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\ADCLaunch.
The Key is called CDONTS.NewMail and the string value contained within is (default) - the same as all the other keys in ADCLaunch.

I am getting an error 429 - Cannot Create ActiveX Component when the client code tries to run CreateObject.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks,

Si

Unfortunately the CDO for NTS Library is intended to run on a Microsoft® Windows NT® Server, it is not intended to run on a client process, nor to access remote servers.

You can't use this particular object on client side script...

Thanks Mark.
I have searched through so much information and I can't do it. Gutted.

Cheers
