ObjectFromLresult

[vbbit]

All, I am using this ObjectFromLresult API to get the web page document form, and users input boxes. It works on all machine but fails on one particular machine. Since this is an API, could it be something on that particular workstation that's missing and thus causing the issue? maybe the dll is missing or not getting registered right?

define "fails" ... that could mean a number of things... error messages, stuck doors, wheels coming off, fingers falling off...

Could be a lot of problems, not registered properly, different dll version, corrupted dll, browser is different version, different OS, harddrive is failing, computer's altitude is too high (mountains), virus, user restrictions, etc...

If you want us to help you we need more details on how it is happening and why?
What system is it running on, what OS?
When is it happening?
What is the error messages, or why is it failing?

My guess is that it's failing on a system older/newer than XP and/or, perhaps, a 64bit machine. I wouldn't be surprised if it's returning 'E_UNEXPECTED' (but my Crystal Ball is a bit dim)
