i have a problem with devoloping an asp program ,that is dynamically generating snapshot files (in .snp format)from

a MS-access database.
database name is datafile.mdb.
Report name is "reportTarge".
here is the asp code for this.

<%
    Dim objAccess
    Set objAccess = Server.CreateObject("Access.Application")
        objAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase request("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH") & "databasename.mdb"
    objAccess.DoCmd.OutputTo 3, "reportName", "Snapshot Format (*.snp)", "snapshotname.snp", 0
    objAccess.DoCmd.Quit 2
%>

But while executing this asp code ,i am getting the following error in my IE browser.

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0178 (0x80070005)
The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object.

What is the reason of this error (while creating instance of the access)?.
Is there any problem with my IIS server setting ?If there, how to solve it?

Please help me?
Thanking in advance.

From Vinod

The error means that the component you are trying to use is not installed on the server.

I thought that meant your account doesn't have permission to use that component.

Sorry your right, I just read the bit Server.CreateObject failed and as this was posted in the wrong forum, the Web Wiz Forums support forum, I'm use to seeing the failed message when the component is not installed on the web server when relating to support for Web Wiz Forums.

To counter it make sure your account has administrative privileges, since you are executing an external program you need to have an administrative account on the server.

Now that would be scary if you need admin privileges to execute an external program. All you need is explicit permissions to that component. Access.Application is usually in the Office folder and the iusr account does not have permissions to there, or it's registry keys.

Oh, I thought you needed admin rights because in .NET Office interop only works if you are logged in as an admin

dear,

Thanks for you suggestions.That error is not appearing now ,but appering another error,

error '800a1eba'

if i trap the error with asp code

it shows the message

Microsoft Access can't open the database because it is missing, or opened exclusively by another user.

but this database is not opened elsewhere.
Is this the correct code for dynamically creating snapshots from asp.
If no ,please give help me.

Thank you

from,
Vinod
