Been getting "login failed for user nt authority/network service running on Window Serv 08. I'm guessing the service account didn't have enough privilege to get the job done. I've looked at the Component Services gui, and found where in "my computer" properties I can add permissions for access and launching, but don't know enough to take . Any suggestions. Hope you're having a great weekend. Murray Gafkjen Clay Central Everly
