- Access 2007

- excel 2007

- PDF - Prcess Start

- EXE - Process Start

- Word 2007

The new function works great local ost but will not display request at client to server 2008 r2.

The windows appear localhost but not on the server.

I have DCOM permissions set for microsoft office .  Will this process run on 2008 r2. Supposedly this will work.

The apps just simplly wont render when executed on the server from the App......HELP!!!!! -
