Chris,

The same thing happened to me this week. I am on NT4 Server with SP3, and IIS3.

I created a DLL in VFP5 and could access it's properties and methods from Excel 97, VB5, VFP3, and VFP5 with the CREATEOBJECT() command. However, I kept getting an error message with the exact same code in my Active Server Page.

Fortunately, the NT Server PC that I had the ASP errors appear on was the development PC. We have another NT Server PC that we use as our actual web server. I moved the DLL over to the Web server, registered it, and my ASP worked great.

Both PCs are NT4 Server with SP3 but there has to be a problem with my PC. We are going to try to re-install the SP3 to see if this helps.

This one really stumped me for a few days. Hope this helps.
