Thanks for the response.
Maybe I'm missing something else then. Before impersionation I tried settin
g the processModel user to SYSTEM, and had the same problem. I have also ad
ded the ASPNET account to the 'run as part of the operation system' policy w
ith no luck.
When I call, clipboardData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap) the exception
being returned is null object (Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.). The most likely cause is permissions, but as far as I can tell I
've tried giving the adequa
te permissions - or am I missing something?
Thanks again.
Bill
can you impersonate to an authenticated user and see if this works?
Otherwise post your code and i'll work with you on it
