Create local cube from remote AS server

Hello

I try the following:

I
1) connect to a remote server and browse its AS databases and cubes
2) display one cube in a OWC 10/11 pivottable (by setting .connectionstring and .datamember
3) try to create a local cube from this server database/cube using "CREATE GLOBAL CUBE...") giving a unc path as target

Steps 1 and 2 are successful (I use a named user in the format domain\username).

Step 3 gives an error: either a connection cannot be made to server ... or AS is not running on this computer

When I try this with my local AS, 1 to 3 works fine (assumed I use localhost and integrated security)

Questions:

1) Is there any rule for user accounts to be able to create local cubes?

2) I get an error (no. -1056899072) in the sql profiler when I try step 3, but do not know how to go any further. Is there any description for this error?

Regards
Klaus Wiesel

Try to make sure the path you specify in your command is valid path for remote Analysis Server.
