Hi,

I've a program that is executed thru an ASP page, It works fine on XP and
w2k but in windows 2003 it can't open the database and sends -2147221168 -
Automation error - Could not read key from registry. When I run this program
from a terminal services session it works fine so it looks like a permits
issue but I've tried and can't make it work, so if anyone has some idea
please let me know.

Thanks in advance and regards,

Gerardo Velez

What type of authentication is your ASP application using? Anonymous, Basic, Integrated NT?

I would also check out the following Microsoft article:
