inetserver asp components:
I would like make a friendly challenge the experts out their and to
help me find a solution to a problem I have. PLEASE help me!

I need to call server.createObject("outlook.application") from an ASP
page on IIS 5.0. With that said I have been successful with making
this call from a server that has IIS 4.0.

The IIS error that I receive is an ASP 113 which tells me that the ASP
has reached the maximum processing time allow to run an ASP page and
the offered correction is to increase the ASP Page processing time.
My question is what do I need to do different on the IIS 5.0 to make
this work correctly.

I true would like to thank you for your help!!

Please don't multi-post. Answered in another forum.

Generally, use of office objects like this is a bad idea:

What are you trying to accomplish? Maybe there's a batter way ...

Tom thank you for your feedback and sorry about the multi-post. I'm
getting desperate to get an answer to my quest.

I had already read the article that you are talking about and I
understand why the article is important but what I'm trying to do is
different that try to manipulate an Outlook Calendar or Mailbox. My
goal is to the use the CreateObject command to create an instance of
an Outlook Appointment in memory set a few values then save that
instance into a Message Formatted file on the hard disk. Then I plan
to email the file to a user.

I have looked into the iCalendar and vCalendar and they are not robust
enough to set the "Show Time As" to Tentative only busy. I'm guessing
that this is a security issue but I can find any information about
which dlls are called on for Outlook.application in the CreateObject
command nor which component I need to change to allow me to get past
this command.

Please add any insight you may have on this subject. I'm not ready to
give up yet.

Thanks again for your feedback. I will post this same response in the
other post that you left for me.

Thank you again

N. Graves
