debugging ASP

[twells]

I'm using WROX VB6 Web Programming. Chapter 9 has an html,asp,dll assignment to call an .asp from an html. The asp instantiates the dll object within script:

<%
'Create the Web Provider Component
Set objDisplay = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Authors.Display&quot

'Call the component
objDisplay.AllAuthors

'Dereference the component
objDisplay = Nothing
%>

which is supposed to return table info from the pubs database. When the .asp is loaded, all I get is a returned page saying there was an Application error and to look at my event log. The event viewer shows:

The server failed to load application ''. The error was '80004005'.

How do I find the bug in either my .asp or my .dll?

There is no such object. Read back in the book to find out what the object Authors.Display is (my bet is that calling a dll you were supposed to have created/registered that references the Northwind database Authors column)
