I have written an Active X dll under VB 6 for use within an ASP application. The environment the dll sits on is server 2003 STD (IIS 6). The issue I am having is that when the DLL is called from the ASP page it will fire up notepad.exe (I am testing with a text file) but just hang with notepad open. The dll works fine when I just send out a cover page only. I have created a new app pool with a user who has full admin rights over the hosting box, but still the same result. I have found 4 -5 of posts over the internet posted within the past few years with my exact same issue and all end with no solution. I have been banging on this dll for more then three weeks now with just this one issue and I think my brian is fried. Any advie would be greatly appreciated as I think this is some form of rights issue but not to the file structure it seems. It may have something to do with the local policy possibly. Once again thanks.

I was able to resolve this issue finally. I ended up creating a new app pool for the asp site, started the user out with admin rights which addressed the issue. I just pulled back rights after that. Text files work perfectly now. Now my new issue is even though with that user there are no initial pop ups with word, I can not send word docs. The winword.exe pops up but now it just sits there and hangs.
