Access checks are enforced by default on newer platforms (eg. Win2k3 and XP
SP2) and not on older ones (win2k) so you would see different behavior
depending on the platform you were running on.
Pay attention to security. If you really don't want to enforce access checks
then turn them off when you create the applicaiton. You can do this in
managed code by adding an assembly level ApplicationAccessContraol
attribute.
Example in C#:
[assembly: ApplicationAccessControl(false)]
This has the same effect as unchecking 'Enforce Security Checks' in COM+
settings as Frank mentioned.
I don't recommend ignoring security like this though. You should think about
who is allowed to access your components and enforce access checks so only
intended clients can access the app.
