HTML object

[tassflint]

Hello all,

I am using a 3rd party twain dll on my site to control a scanner on the users machine. I can get the code to work when it is in VS 2005. The problem is that once I put the code onto the server, it can not find the object, or the objects code, I don't know which one. Here is the code I have for the object:

    <object id="Twain1" name="Twain1" 
          classid="[URL unfurl="true"]http://dc2/scan/Twain.dll#Twain.VSTwain"[/URL]
          codebase="[URL unfurl="true"]http://dc2/scan/Twain.dll#fileversion=2,4,2">[/URL]
    </object>

I have followed all the fixes in the faq on the vendors website, and none of them have worked. Does anyone have an idea for what I can try next?

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Do the people visiting your site have access to the "dc2" server? If they do not, then you will need to change the "dc2" to be a public-facing address.

Hope this helps,

Dan,

DC2 is our intranet server, so everyone does have access to it.

If you try and access the file directly in a web browser by typing "

http://dc2/scan/Twain.dll"

into the address bar, do you get the file delivered, or a "file not found" error?

If the latter, then you should resolve that.

NB: If you're running IIS, it may well be a security option that DLL files are not delivered (possibly a lock-down thing?)... Maybe ask in the IIS forum.

Dan,

The file was delivered to me just fine. I have gone into the properties of the dll within IIS and said that script access is allowed to try and resolve what is going on.
