VBA, OCX and system folders

[Clarence Klopfstein]

If this isn't the right place to ask this, please redirect me to that place.

I have written an OCX component that will scan from a scanner. When I
try to use it within VBA and Microsoft Word it fails.

I have narrowed it down to the fact that it is not being granted access
to certain folders.

So when it tries to access the ds file in the C:\Windows\TWAIN_32 folder
it errors out. Is there a setting that would allow my OCX to be called
from VBA, but still get access to system files?

Another folder that it cannot get access to is the users temporary
folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp

This puzzles me because that folder is pretty generic.

Thanks,
Clarence
