Thanx for everyones suggestions. I found th eproblem because of all of the thought provoking that your clues triggered.

I had a dll with the same name as the exe that was instantiated via IIS. All I had to do was rename the exe. All all is well.

I have one more question: What is everyones thoughts on checking the Regenerate Component IDs each time I build my dll or exe. I don't really understand this aspect of components and executables.
