Components Problem..

[Creeder]

Hi All,
When Using the OLE/COM object viewer, i tried creating an instance of a component currently registered and i get the following error

IClassFactory::CreateInstance Failed.
Unspecified Error.
E_FAIL ($80004005)

The reason is because in one of the APS pages, the error occurs on this line

set test = Server.CreateObject("Test.function&quot
with the same type of error.

When i tried opening that component i get the following message mention above. What could be the problem? Is the problem cause by the component. As I am really new to components it has been really hard for me to determine the root of the problem. I really would appreciate it if someone could point me to the right direction.

Thank you all
Yue Jeen

Do you know in which language the component was written?
Do you have the source?
Do you know who wrote it?

The fact is it can be that the component has an error.
If you know who wrote it then it's best to contact that
person/entity and ask for an upgrade or something.

Chances are it's the component

If you're familiar with components and/or can write them then maybe you should write a component and call from asp to see if that also gives you the same error.

What does the component do or not do?
Maybe you should search the internet for a component that performs a similar function. Maybe I or another member can provide you with the source to create your own.

Hope this helps
