Bob,
IIS caches COM objects in order to use them more efficiently the next time they are called. In order to unload it, at the CMD prompt (assuming NT because you are using IIS), type: net stop iisadmin. It is this service that locks it. This will also shut down the web servirce (also ftp and smtp).

Rebooting should have released it unless this object is accessed as part of the Application_Start event.

HTH.

Shutting down the COM object through IIS does not help as well as shutting down the web server service. I found an article on this and all variables in the COM object must be PRIVATE which they are. I am woried that I will run out of system resources. Does anybody know why it is still in memory and what I can do to fix it?
