oHTTP.HTTPGet is working with impersonation set to a specific user. I can live with that. The IE code always fails with:

CallServer: Invoke failed with err code 80020009: Exception occurred.

This works:

FUNCTION testCom()
oHTTP=CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp")
lcHTML = oHTTP.HTTPGet("http://www.west-wind.com/")
lcNF='testcom'+ RIGHT(SYS(2015),6)+'.txt'
=STRTOFILE(lcHTML,lcNF,1)
this.standardpage('ok','ok'+lcNF)
ENDFUNC

This fails:
FUNCTION testComIE()
oIE = Createobject("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.Visible = .f.
oIE.Navigate("http://www.west-wind.com/")
lcNF='testcomIE'+ RIGHT(SYS(2015),6)+'.txt'
Declare Integer Sleep In WIN32API Integer nTimeout
Do While oIE.ReadyState # 4
	Sleep(100)
Enddo
lcRetVal =  oIE.Document.Body.OuterHtml
oIE.Quit()
=STRTOFILE(lcRetVal,lcNF,1)
this.standardpage('ok','ok'+lcNF)
ENDFUNC

Are you sure that IE can't be instantiated outside of the interactive session? Pretty sure that you can use InternetExplorer.Application from a service process that has no console...

Impersonating a specific user has always worked great. However, I need to instantiate IE to fetch external data which apparently can't be done unless someone is logged on.

If I set the impersonation to the Interactive User, I can access IE, but the system seems to log off even though I've got the power option set to Turn off the display:Never. This happens irregularly and always at night.

I get the error message Unable to co create servers. As soon as I remote desktop to the server, everything works fine again for a couple of days.

Anything I can do to keep the system from logging off?

I'm using Web Server 2008.

TIA
