IIS Application Protection

I really don't understand how IIS Application Protection works. I am calling a function in a COM server (dll) in my asp page. The function connects to an ODBC driver.

In my development server the IIS Application Protection is set to the default (medium) and my application works fine. When I move it to a different machine, the application sends an error "server can't create object" at statement "server.createobject" unless I set the IIS Application Protection to low. On the other hand, if I set it to low on my development server I get the same error.

I understand that Application Protection role is to define the process where the application is going to run for protecting IIS from shutdown if the application misbehaves. It should have nothing to do with the asp application behavior. Any ideas of what's happening.

Moved from ASP

If you are using an Access mdb, permission settings is a likely reason for asp code to run in your development box and fail in a server.

I don't have the answer for your question, though. www.iisfaq.com is a helpful site, and the IIS documentation starts here:

No, I am not using Access mdb. I am using Microsoft Oracle ODBC. Thank you for replying.

Thank You
