Hi - I had a similar problem. I have a simple project that manipulates Adobe Illustrator that works fine at home on Windows XP Pro (with admin login), but gives me an error (error message and source code below) at work with Windows Pro 2000 (user login). Im a novice, so Im pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I get "Member not found" still. What Ive checked:
- Same version of Illustrator on both machines (v10)
- Same version of .NET on both machines (v1.1)
- Gave the assembly (both .exe and .dll) full rights with .NET Configuration utility (at work)
- Made sure Interop.Illustrator.dll is in same directory as app (as you can see, the error message says its loaded)
I dont think its a security issue as the app does run, does load Illustrator and does create a new document. But like I said, it works perfectly fine at home.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Cliff
