I have an activex object that contains the code "CreateObject("Outlook.Application)". This code works fine if run locally, but when I put it on our development server, I get an Err 429: ActiveX can't create object error. The server has the same version of outlook, etc. Also, I put that same code into a standard exe and it runs fine on the server. The activex component is being called from an asp page (asp 3.0).

any ideas on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thank you, Shasur! This is exactly what I was looking for, even though I had searched microsoft repeatedly and hadn't found this article.

Try the following

Add the identity to the webconfig file

<identity impersonate="true"/>

Impersonation provides ASP.net to execute the process with the privileges of another user for a session.

Also make sure that ASPNET (if IIS5.0) or NetworkService is included in the list of users with required privileges
