Register a custom business object

Applies to: Access 2013 | Access 2016

To successfully launch a custom business object (.dll or .exe) through the Web server, the business object's ProgID must be entered into the registry as explained in this procedure. This RDS feature protects the security of your Web server by running only sanctioned executables.

Note

For MDAC 2.0 and later, the default business object RDSServer.DataFactory is not registered by default during MDAC installation. However, if RDSServer.DataFactory was registered as safe for execution on the computer prior to the installation, the registry entry is maintained for the new installation.

To register a custom business object

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type RegEdit, and then click OK.

3. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\ADCLaunch registry key.

4. Select the ADCLaunch key, and then from the Edit menu, point to New and click Key.

5. Type the ProgID of your custom business object, and press Enter. Leave the Value entry blank.
