automation and dll creation

I have created an ActiveX dll component using VB6 that uses the Intellicad objects to open a drawing file, calculate areas for the various layers, and return the results in an xml-tagged format.This works fine within the VB environment and thus far using the Trial version of Intellicad 2000. When I tried to use the dll component from an Active Server Page, I get an error at the line: Set objIntellicad = New Intellicad.Application.I will be trying to set up a machine with a licensed version of Intellicad and see if that fixes the problem but I am wondering if anyone else has tried creating an ActiveX component and what had been your experience.Does using the Trial Version or the Licensed version make a big difference?

    found a way to get the dll to run successfully from the asp page - not what I like but it does run.Based on info gathered from Q259725 and Q299633 from MS's Knowledgebase, I did:1. went into Internet Information Services applet on W2000 Pro2. went into the properties list for the website directory I had the asp page in3. selected Directory Security tab4. clicked edit Anonymous access and authentication control5. unchecked Anonymous access6.clicked ok all the way back7. closed all browser windows8. opened browser window and reran the test asp page.9. dll ran - presented the areas being soughtMore analysis will be needed to see what security can be applied but still allow the dll to run.huger
