In AppDev Studio, the error,

   Object does not support this property or method:  Netcopy.domain

means that the client machine either has an older version of SASNetCopy
installed on it or none at all.  There is some problem that is
preventing the SASNetCopy ActiveX control from being automatically
installed from the web server onto the client.  This can be for several
reasons:

* To determine if there is an older version of SASNetCopy installed on
  the machine, look in the "Downloaded Program Files" folder in the
  "Windows" or "winNT" folder.  Look for "NetCopy Class" in the list.
  If found, see usage note V6-WEBAF-G785.

* The URL for NetCopy.cab in the CODEBASE line in your HTML is not
  pointing to the proper location on the web server.  Verify that the
  URL is correct and that NetCopy.cab is on that server.  Keep in mind
  case sensitivity of the URL on Unix servers.  A good way to test this
  would be to type in the URL directly in your browser and see if it
  can locate the file (it should ask you if you want to open or save
  to disk the file).  For example,

     http://machinename/sasweb/tools/SASNetCopy/webAFNC.jar

  To see if you have the correct path in the project, you would go to
  project properties and click on the HTML tab.  Sasnetcopy should be
  checked and and the path should be

     http://machinename/sasweb/tools/SASNetCopy

  for the Serverroot SASNetCopy url.  If SASNetCopy is working on some
  machines and not others then this probably would not be the problem.

* The settings for the appropriate IE security zone are preventing
  the ActiveX control (SASNetCopy) to be downloaded or installed on
  the client.  Have the user(s) check the Internet Options: Security
  tab in IE. Select the zone they're using (Local intranet, internet,
  etc.), bring up Custom Level, and make sure the ActiveX settings
  for signed ActiveX controls are set to either Prompt or Enable.

* On Win95 and Win98 machines, the problem may be it is missing a
  Microsoft file named atl.dll.  This file should be found in
  C:\Windows\System. If not found, you can download this file from
  Microsoft at http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/atl.cab
  This cab file from Microsoft contains a self-extracting executable
  (atl.exe) which installs the atl.dll on your machine.
