vfp com problems

[nc1264]

I have created a vfp dll file that has been registered as a com-server. In order to install it on other machines I copy the dll with its tlb file and runtime files to an other machine, register it (with com services) and everything works.
The problem I have is the following. Although I tested it on several machines (without any development environment on them) it fails to work on a W2K-server. I can regiser it with com-services but it does not work. When calling the routine en error is generated. In order to get it work I have tried regsvr32 as well. This worked partly because now I can call my server from a test program. When trying to do something from a webpage an error is generated.

Why is this happening? Why is it failing on the server?

Any help is appreciated.

Mike,

the error message mentions a problem with the class-id.
The dll and its tlb file is created when building the dll. When trying to register it with the Component Services I select both the dll and tlb file and there is no problem registering it. When I want to use it, however, the problem surfaces.

I have tried regsvr32 to register it and it helps when calling the dll from the test.exe. It, however, still fails when calling it from a webpage.

I have copied the package to several other machines and there it works like a charm. The machine where it fails is a W2K server running IIS, SQL2000 and Terminal Server.

Regards,

Ron
