Process Images on server from Front-end Access

[Solondo]

I have a network of workstations using a front-end access database and a back-end server with 2003 small business server. I need to integrate an image resize (jpg) function into the front end automation but do not want to add additional software installations or configuration to the workstations ( which get changed out and moved frequently ).

I installed ImageMagick on the server and it performs perfectly but when I attempt to call it from the Access front end, it attempts to run on the workstation and cannot find it's libraries. Is there a method of calling the application on the server from the workstation and have it run on the server? Scripting triggered by an asp page or some other method? Or a method of telling the locally running app where the support files can be found on the server.

I understand that there is a Windows Com+ module which can be used but it would need to be installed and referenced on each system.

Thanks for your help.

If it runs from the command line but not from the front end, you have an environment problem. EG: user running the process, directory it is run in, path to executable, locations of libraries etc. All things that are typically automatically setup for a user, but is not automatically set up for web, or other run time setups.
