The fact that the executable is on the server is immaterial: Access runs on the user's desktop, not the server. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Re: Error 429; ActiveX control can't create object "Douglas J. Steele" <NOSPAM_djsteele[ at ]NOSPAM_canada.com> 05.12.2005 01:10:46 You're confusing me. You say you have an Access application, yet you also say you have an Exe. Which is it? In any case, as I said, the fact that the executable exists on the server doesn't mean anything: it actually runs on the workstation, so any dependencies of the executable must be installed on the workstation. If you didn't write the application yourself, you'll need to get details from whoever did as to what has to be installed. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)
