Hi all,
      I have an ASPX page that is supposed to bring up a Computer Graphics Metafile (.cgm) by way of an ActiveX viewer but when the ASPX page is opened from the client-side nothing is displayed. The activeX program is setup up so that when it is initially run the viewer is automatically installed as a IE plug-in and nothing more is needed to be done. This has already been setup on the client-side and when I attempt to run the setup on the server-side windows gives me a pop-up error that says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". I don't understand this because I am setup as an administrator on the server. Could there be permissions within the actual viewer (.ocx file)? Or do I need to setup my aspx pages to accept this specific viewer? I had a previous viewer which I never setup anything for it, it would just display in IE using that previous plugin. This new viewer is an in-house development written by someone around the office but I'm thinking the problem is not with the viewer but with my aspx pages or with the IIS permissions on the server side. Could anyone please give me some insight on this. Thanks.

Found the initial problem: when attempting the give myself full control over the app I found out that I was not able to do it. The person who created the app set himself as the owner of the viewer, which is an .ocx file. This being placed on the server does not have the ability to reference the other needed elements from which the launch icon points to. I also come to this conclusion by attempting to display a CGM strictly over the server without being placed in an ASPX page and nothing would display. All in all, I'm going to need him to turn over dominate permissions to me. I guess this would be the ideal way to deploy the viewer for marketing but when this app is needed to support someone else in-house then it would be preferable to set the permissions to the administrator or Everyone. Hope someone else gains some knowledge from this.
