Error --> Server.CreateObject Failed ??? Help !

**nmretd** · May 29th, 2000, 10:33 PM

I have created an ActiveX DLL in VB6 and created a class called Visit.

I am calling it in ASP:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<html>

<%
Dim objVisit
set objVisit = server.CreateObject("Project1.Visit")

%>

</HTML>

However I get the following Error:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/local/Test.asp, line 12 800401f3

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong ?

did you register the dll first?

Thanks for your reply dvst8.

I created the dll but I don't think I have registered it. How do I go about registering my dll ?

since you are using VB6, to create your dll file, you just simply select "Make <project>.dll" in the "file" menu. VB6 will create the dll file and register it at the same time.(maybe you did), or you can register it yourself.
go to windows "start"->"Run"-> enter "regsvr32 <project>.dll" (make sure you target where the file is.).
that should do it.

I hope this will help

Yes I got it working, you were right I hadn't registered the dll file. It's working fine now.
