Ok.  that makes sense. 
 
This is on a development machine so this machine is both the client and the server.  What are the implications of that?  Do I need to do something other than just register the dll as normal, regsvr32?

The first snippet runs client side (in your browser), while the second runs serverside (in CF).  You'll need to install the component on the server in order for it to work.

This works

<script language="VBScript">
Sub FindButton_OnClick       
Dim ZP4
Set ZP4 = CreateObject("ZPComSrv.ZP4Com")
End Sub
</script>

This doesn't

<cfobject type="com" action="" class="ZPComSrv.ZP4Com" name="zp4">

I get an error:

      An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object. 
      The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.NullPointerException.


What would cause this.  It must be registered or the vbscript wouldn't work, right?

Also, can I access those vars from vbscript (zp4) with cold fusion later in the page?

Can someone point me in the right direction for troubleshooting com object and whatever other information on using com object that you know of.
 
TIA,
