SUMMARY

The Microsoft Access Workflow Designer uses a Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) component named modTBAD. If modTBAD permissions are improperly set, you can experience development or deployment problems when you use the Access Workflow Designer. It is possible, however, to check and modify the modTBAD permissions.

MORE INFORMATION

To check or modify modTBAD permissions:
  1. On the Access Workflow Designer server, click Run on the Start menu.
  2. Type DCOMCNFG.
  3. Click OK or press ENTER.

    NOTE: If this is the first time that you are running DCOMCNFG, you may see a few messages. Click OK for each message to dismiss it.
  4. When the Distributed COM Configuration Properties dialog box appears, click the Applications tab.
  5. In the Applications list, click modTBAD.
  6. Click the Default Security tab.
  7. Under Default Access Permissions, click the Edit Default button. If the modAppOwners group does not appear in the list, add the modAppOwners group.
  8. When you are finished adding or modifying permissions, click OK.
  9. Under Default Launch Permissions, click the Edit Default button. If the modAppOwners group does not appear in the list, add the modAppOwners group.
  10. When you are finished adding or modifying permissions, click OK.
