I am in the beginning stages of trying to create a COM object that will be used inside an ASP page. I can instantiate the base MSComm control via the following syntax:

oComm = CREATEOBJECT('mscommlib.mscomm')

I was trying to subclass the control to add method code to the oncomm event. I don't need or want to add the subclass to a form...

>How are you trying to instantiate it? You have to add the OleCOntrol class to a form using AddObject() or NewObject(). It won;t instantiate otherwise.
