you'll need to set Tomcat to run as a service under a username that has Admin rights to the XP box.
That should work. I'm doing something similar but with Win2k. -----Original Message----- From: Warren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 4:17 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat running as service on XP? Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandLine) I have Tomcat 5.5 installed on a Windows XP machine. I am running an app that uses MS Access to print reports via: Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandLine); So far this combination has been very reliable when running Tomcat under the current logged in user. But when I run Tomcat as a service, which is what I would prefer to do, Access does not run at all and I do not get any exceptions from my app. I have a feeling it has something to do with Windows/services permissions or group policies, but I have not gotten very far with that. If this is more a Windows question, please point me to a newsgroup where I can get an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
