Guest Gilles Ganault Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Hello I'm stuck trying to get a Visual Basic Classic program to load an OCX on a Windows 2003 Server on which I'm working with non-admin rights through Terminal Services: In the Form_Load() even, I'm trying to use the MSWinsock OCX control, but the firewall pops up telling me I don't have the required rights for this. When commenting out the Winsock1.* lines, no pop-up. The program works fine on a host on which I'm connected as admin. I'm a bit stuck at where to look for an answer: - firewall - user rights - user profiles - NTFS user rights - Terminal Services Thanks for any tip.

This seems to me like more of a Windows issue than a VB one. Try asking in a Windows newsgroup. I think you'll probably stand a better chance of getting assistance. -- Mike Microsoft MVP Visual Basic

Thanks.
