Even,

Your suggestion to create a test.exe to see if the server is really up and running did the trick. Starting it immediately revealed a problem with the ini-file I was using. A path was set improperly. On my machine this problem never showed because the ini-file is correct.
I corrected this and the server ´runs like a fox´.

Thanks for your advice!

I have created a method that exposes the com-server on a webpage so I now it is present and that is can be called. When I call the method to create a report, something is happening but it returns no results at all. I have some logging features but nothing is written into the log. The com-server does not generate any errors (?). I have some problems with determing the problem. I have the webserver running on a user with admin-rights (!) but I still can´t get it to work.

This will let you know (if you are using COMRETURNERROR) what error is happening and if the error is with the component or with the config of the machine. The test app would look something like...
