I have written an DLL with some routines that an EXE calls. The EXE is located on a server where multiple clients can access it. If I register the DLL on the server will all of the clients have access to it?
I am attempting to do this but keep getting the error: "Error 429: ActiveX component cannot create object" when it tries to access the routine in the DLL. Is there something I need to do when making the "Createobject" call from the Exe?

As far as I know you will either have to register the dll on the client machines or look into COM+ and component services(2K) or MTS(NT)
Agreed. Each machine, when executing the EXE, must search its own registry for the components.

If you don't want to install on the clients and not use COM+ you might look into DCOM (Distributed COM).
I assume you do not want to use .NET.
How would this change if he were to use .NET?Quote:

Hi your error is a genuiune error
Try this code it remove all the error .
Const ERR_APP_NOTRUNNING As Long = 429
On Error Resume Next
Set xlApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = False
If Err = ERR_APP_NOTRUNNING Then
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
Err.clear
