[RESOLVED] Object Required - VBScript

[kirovman]

Hi all,

I am constructing an html document with vbscript contained within it.


Using this code, I use late binding to call a COM library reference (from a dll).

Dim obj1
set obj1 = CreateObject("HServe.Classname")

This appears to be created ok with no errors (If I mis-spell the "HServe.Classname" part above , I get a "ActiveX cannot create this object" message)

However, when I attempt to use this object, for example:

obj1.DataMember = 1

I get the message "Object Required: 'obj1' " in the Internet Browser error reporting.


Does anyone have any ideas what maybe causing my problem?

The author of the dll notes that it is an automation server dll. I have successfully used regsvr32 to register the dll.



I should also note that the above code does not have any problems when I declare the object as

Dim obj1 As HServe.Classname

in VB 6.0

It turns out that the author of the .dll didn't code it to allow late binding. I got around this by making my own dll which would use early binding to initialise the library.

A bit of an inconvieniance, but it seems to work.
