Updating COM Components

[Gavin_Mannion]

Hi All,

I have been given the task of debugging a few COM Components which are running as part of a large ASP application.

I have edited the source code and created myself a new .dll, I have then gone to the server, unregistered there .DLL and registered mine. But as soon as I try and use the component the web application crashes with no error message. I just get the error page 500.100?

Can someone let me know if there is something I am missing, I have never used these COM components before.

When your ASP page tries to instanciate an object from your component, you may have changed the Prog ID of your component. Make sure the ProgID in your ASP page matches up to the ProjectName.ClassName of your class.

   ' In Your ASP Page
   Set objX = CreateObject(ProgID Goes Here)

The only thing that I can see different is that I do not have the Set word in front of my CreateObject.
If I put it there I get this error message.
=====================
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: 'Server.CreateObject(...).ReturnAccountDetails(...)'
=====================
In my Login.asp page I have the following

gReturn = Server.CreateObject( _
                                 "CaseManagement.AccountConnector" _
                                  ).ReturnAccountDetails( _
			gstrConnection, _
			gstrAccountName, _
			mstrPassword, _
			mlngAuthorityLevel, _
			mlngPasswordAge)

My Project name is 'CaseManagement.vbp'
My Class Name is 'AccountConnector'
And my function is

Public Function ReturnAccountDetails( _
                    ByVal ConnectionString As String, _
                    ByVal UserID As String, _
                    ByVal Password As String, _
                    ByRef AuthorityLevel As Variant, _
                    ByRef PasswordAge As Variant _
                    ) As Long

As far as I can see everything looks 100%.

Is it possible that they have not given me the original project and that is why this is not working?

Thanks

uh, you can't do that kinda stuff with vb6:

Set myObj = Server.CreateObject(progid).CallSomeMethod

try this:

Dim oMyObj
Set oMyObj = Server.CreateObject("CaseManagement.AccountConnector")
gReturn = oMyObj.ReturnAccountDetails(gstrConnection, _
 gstrAccountName, mstrPassword, mlngAuthorityLevelk, _
 mlngPasswordAge)
Set oMyObj = Nothing
