    Hi,

    I believe this issue has something to do with Windows Server 2003 and its
    "tightened" security. I would appreciate if someone could give me some clue
    about why it happens. I could not find it yet, even Google could not find
    info about it AFAIK!

    I have a program that runs fine on all windows platforms I have tried except
    Windows Server 2003. The program is supposed to transfer a file over HTTP to
    an IIS server. It uses ADODB Components to accomplish this (so it is
    dependent on MDAC, but works fine with MDAC 2.8 on all windows platforms
    except Windows Server 2003 - MDAC 2.8 is the version that comes with Windows
    Server 2003. So I thought it might have something to do with it).

    When i run the program I get a cryptic error (See "Further details:" below).
    I get the error whether I try to connect to a remote server or the server I
    run the program (so it is a web site hosted on the same server where I run
    the application with a host header). The Internet Explorer can connect to
    the remote server or to the web site hosted on the same server without any
    problem. Yet I cannot get the program to work. It should be trying to
    accomplish the very same thing.

    Does anyone know anything about this issue?

    Thanks in advance.

    FURTHER DETAILS:

    I am using Adodb.record to transfer a file. The code was working and still
    works fine on all platforms I tested, except Windows Server 2003. I receive
    the following error when I attempt to open the record.

    -2147217895 (0x800040E19) Object or data matching the name, range or
    selection criteria was not found within the scope of this operation.

    The error message did not lead to any useful information that would help me
    fix the problem.

    The line that fails in the code is:
    oRec.Open sURL, , adModeReadWrite, adCreateNonCollection Or
    adCreateOverwrite

    The URL is correct and access rights and other configuration on the web site
    is also correct.

    I tried to find out why this error occurs but I could not find anything that
    helps (I even suspected from MDAC 2.8, but it works fine with MDAC 2.8 on
    Windows Server 2000 or Windows XP, I asked people, I searched myself -
    nothing seems to help).

    Thus I wrote this message.

    Thanks in advance.
