I have set up a website and am testing ASPs. I have created
a very simple ActiveX component with two interfaces:

    AboutBox() - displays  About details
    calcpi()   - returns   3.14159

Here is my configuration (All the most up to date versions
except for Visual C++):

 Windows XP (Home Edition).
 Visual C++ 6.0
 Apache Webserver
 SUN ASPONE  
 Internet Explorer

When I use ATL COM Appwizard to create my ActiveX
component (DLL really), I can get the following
to work quite easily:

<%
   Set x =Server.CreateObject("AC.AcCtrl.1")

   x.calcpi()    
%>

However, when I use MFC ActiveX Control Wizzard to create
my ActiveX (.ocx really) component, the above does not
work. Well, the instantion of the x object appears to
work but I obtain the following error when I try to
invoke x.calcpi():

              error '8000ffff'

              /t.asp, line 4

Can anyone tell me what they think is happening here?

 Possible problems: Internet Explorer ?
                    ActiveX Wizzard   ?
                    XP Home Edition   ?
                    SUN ASPONE        ? (least likely)

Please don't ask me to use the latest Express Edition of
Visual C++ (It's an abortion).

Don't know if this is the right place for this question but no activity seems
to be going on in the ASP forum...

Thanks,
John Gabriel
