>>I am attempting my first com server using FOXISAPI. Once my simple program is created and added to my project, and once it is compiled either as a DLL or EXE, I can create the object from within VFP and call its methods. However, when I copy the dll or exe over to our web server's script folder, and attempt to access it and call its methods, I get:
>>
>>FOXISAPI call failed
>>Class id for TFoxServer.TFoxIsapi not found. Err code = 800401f3: Invalid class string

>You probably need to run DCOMCNFG to configure rights regarding your COM server on the web server. There are several steps to this, but there may be a FAQ here which outlines it. If not, you can download documents on Rick Strahl's WestWind website ( www.west-wind.com ) that will lead you through it.

Also, make sure you can interactively instantiate your COM server in VFP and run one or more of it's methods to confirm it will run properly. I usually create a simple dummy method which outputs some text for this until i'm satisfied I've got it off the ground. :-)
