I do a fair bit of ASP development using Interdev. The ASP's generally execute stored procedures in SQL server, via a DLL I develop in VB. This work fine and I never have any problems.
However, sometimes, I have a requirement to extract some information from an office document using API and put the information into an ASP page. To do this I create a dll in VB on the server, which works fine when I call from a standard VB app, but will not work when called from an ASP page.
Does anybody know why this is?

Is Office installed on the server?

What exact error message are you getting? Is it through ASP or from within your DLL?

The weird thing is that there is no error message.
If I call the DLL function from within a VB app, it works fine, but call it from the ASP page (server script) and it just freezes, and times out. The server script calls the function OK but it seems to freeze when doing the work!
The server and client are the same machine, the development machine!
