    ActiveX component can't create object

    Im using an activeX component on my web page. Basically its stored on the client side and is called from web page. When this webpage is on the local computer it works fine, but when i put it onto my intranet server and try to run it i get the error:
    ActiveX component can't create object

    How can i resolve this error?
    Thanks
    Sythe, xxx

    P.S This page is only going to be on the intranet, not internet, so security problems should not matter, i think

    P.P.S
    The code i am using to call the ActiveX object is
    Code:
    <script language="VBScript">
    <!--
    Sub Launch(App, Param)
    	Dim oLaunch
    	Set oLaunch = CreateObject("Xloader.run")
    	oLaunch.Application = App
    	oLaunch.Parameters = Param
    	oLaunch.Launch
    	Set oLaunch = Nothing
    End Sub
    -->
    </script>

    You're using late binding which is okay. Just a lot more overhead.

    This code assumes that the ActiveX component in question is on the node where the code is running & that it's registered -
    but the script is running on the SERVER, so it has to invoke the node -
    Code:
       Dim oLaunch as Object
       ' should be
       Set oLaunch = CreateObject("Xloader.run","?????")
    Do you meet all the above assumptions? I don't think so, because the calling node is the server, it may not know the client node to do the SCM nodename lookup. If it does know the client node change the ??? to nodename.

    This code has it on the web server. This is probably where it should be:

    Code:
      Dim oLaunch as Object
      Set oLaunch = CreateObject("Xloader.run","MySrvr")
    If not, part II here is easier. Because it will work no matter where it is invoked. CLient or server.
