Hi, I think you are having the security problem not with the web service and it's client, but between the asp.net user and COM object. your ASP.NET application runs as a specific user if you're using impersonation(is this the case under basic authentication ? is anonymous access disabled ? ), and this user is not allowed to create the com object. The reason that your windows app works fine is that you're creating the COM object as the current user, which i assume has required previliges as opposed to impersonated user. If i'm not wrong, the error you get should also tell you the basic steps to allow asp.net user to create the com object. I had a similar problem once, and if i'm not mistaken, giving necessary access permission to the directory of com object made the trick. (but honestly i don't remember it very well) Are you using the same user for windows app and web app ? Best regards

I have generated the COM wrapper using VS.NET and have tested the call using a .NET windows app, it works fine. When I call the web service that then tries to call the VB6 component I get a security access denied exception. The web service is set up to use basic authentication and I have set only one role in the web.config file. The role has only one user and I pass the user credentials using a NetworkCredentials object. Even when I add the user to the administrators group I get the access denied error. Does anyone have any suggestions??
