business component

[bezeredi]

I keep getting this error when trying to run this script:
<%
Set objComponent = Server.CreateObject ("Test.Builder")
objComponent.ProcessQuery
%>

The error is:
"Object variable or With block variable not set"

I checked my code and it looks alright. Any suggestion on how to debug?

<% Dim MyDllRef, MyDllFunction

'create a reference to your actual dll
If not isobject(MyDllRef) then 
    set MyDllRef= server.CreateObject("MyProject.Myclass")
End if

'and again, using the SET keyword again,
'call your dll's sub or function :
Set MyDllFunction = MyDllRef.FunctionNo1_TheLarch
%>

Damn, still get the same error. Do you think it is my code in the component or just they way I call the component.

It could be:
1) The naming of the dll (i.e. if you left it as project1, this causes an error when trying to reference it from a new vb project with the same name).
2) The dll is not registered on your pc properly - I'd check the regsvr program and add this to the components services mmc snap in if you use NT, 2000 or XP.
3) The instancing property of the class module you're calling is set wrong.
4) There's something wrong with your code.

You can check no4 by putting in a dummy function :

Public function TestIt() as Boolean
   On error goto Jail

    Dim i as integer
    For i = 0 to 11
          debug.print i
    Next i 
    
    TestIt = True

Jail :
    TestIt = false
End Function

That way, if you call this from the ASP page & get a value :

Set MyDllFunction = MyDllRef.FunctionNo1_TheLarch
response.write MyDllFunction

You'll know that the dll's up & running, & referenced okay, but there's something wrong in your other function.

Tell me - are you using Interdev to do your ASP pages ?

I tried the test function but still get the same error message.
I'm pretty sure it's not my code. I don't think my dll is not registered properly. Right now the the only copy of the dll is in the folder which I created the project.

I think this is how you register it:
regsvr32 test.dll

I ran this but got an error:
Load library("test.dll") failed

By the way I'm use FrontPage 2000, if it makes a difference.

2 options :

1) Start Menu > Run > Type in :

Regsvr32 "C:\Path\File.dll"

The path is important here

2) Check this one out...
