    Default New installs may be killing our LANS

    I'm really grasping at straws here. I have an update and on a couple of
    networks (so far) our program cannot open the data files, create, or
    write on the server. The server is just a windows 10 machine, all worked
    fine before they did the update.

    The big thing I added to the install was registering an ocx.

    I can run the program on each machine just fine, but when I use the
    mapped drive to the server in the start in (in the shortcut), it gets an
    error opening the first file. If I just go directly to the server from
    the workstation it gets the same error. I can see all of the files, but
    cannot run across the lan.

    Again, the only thing I did to the install was install this ocx and
    register it.

    thanks,

    Maybe you should use RegFree.

    Yes, I think I should. Seems more complex but safer. I found the issue
    was a permissions issue with inheritance thanks to a network tech guy at
    their company. Now at least I know what to do. Just need to figure if
    registering this OCX would be causing the permissions issue to show up,
    or it's something else I may have done in the install.

    Registering a remote OCX on a workstation seems more complex to me.

    I just did it with SetupBuilder. I install to each machine anyway.
