Hi Chuck, If an ASP page can work with the COM, but Witango can't - I might suspect it's a permissions thing. Witango does not automatically inherit the same IIS permissions that ASP have.
Try boosting the "Tango 2000 Server" Service permissions. In Windows Services properties dialog for "Tango 2000" check the 'Log on' Account. By default it is the 'Local system account' - try an Admin account of some sort. Hope this helps.
