Thanks for responding Dawn... hmm... I got this message on the day I sent it too... I think I need to re-sign up for the list from my gmail account. 

Thanks again Dawn.

I received 3 or 4 replies to this subject on the 27th and I think 1 on
the 28th, plus what I have today. So the messages appear to be getting
to me on the day they are sent out.

Dave is there a problem with the list?
I've brought up this subject before, but no one ever responded to it. Your response (as well as others) was sent on 03/27, but I'm just now getting it (03/29)...
I'm signed up with other lists, and I don't have this problem. I'm wondering if it's just me. If so, I may need to sign up for the list with a different email address. 

Thanks,
Chris

Christopher is the DLL registered on the system?  When I have used COM
objects, I have instantiated them by the class name that they system knows it by rather than how you would instantiate a CFC in a
particular 
dot delimited path from your web root.

    Hi folks,

    I really need some help instantiating a COM object.

    I've been given a .dll file, and been told that it is the COM

object,

    but I don't know how to instantiate it. I thought it would be

simple.

    I've tried:

    <cfset BBAPI = CreateObject("COM", "COM.BBAPI")>

    The directory is COM and the dll is called BBAPI. I thought maybe

it was

    a path thing, but I tried instantiating a CFC (whose directory is

on

    the
    same level as the COM directory) and it worked like a champ.

    The only thing mentioned about instantiating the object is

mentioned in

    his component summary. The first two items are:

    Type: COM
    Name: BBAPI
    Note: Used for instantiating the object

    Type: Class
    Name: API
    Note: Used for instantiating the object. (i.e. CreateObject

BBAPI.API)

    I've tried:

    <cfset BBAPI = CreateObject("COM", " COM.API")>
    <cfset BBAPI = CreateObject("COM", "COM.BBAPI")>
    <cfset BBAPI = CreateObject("COM", "COM.BBAPI.API")>
    <cfset BBAPI = CreateObject("COM", " COM.BBAPI.dll")>

    I just don't know what to do. The docs say that I need:

    <cfset BBAPI = CreateObject("COM", "class")>

    Well according to what I'm reading the class is "API".

    Can someone help me please? :o)

    Chris
