asp_components thread: ActiveX .dll works from VB, not from ASP?

Hello all.
I have a trial version of an ActiveX .dll which works great from within a
VB program, but not from an ASP page. I spoke to the author about this and
he says he is at a loss as to why it doesn't work from ASP, but suspects
it has something to with the fact that it uses the MS Internet Control as
part of its functionality.
I really have a need for this component to work within an ASP page, and
the author was kind enough to give me a key to keep using it and try to
get it to work from ASP - trouble is I'm not sure how!
I don't get an error when I instantiate the object using CreateObject, but
when I call one of the methods it returns a boolean value stating
unsuccessful. Anyone have any ideas why it would work from within VB but
not from within an ASP page on Win2k/IIS 5?
Thank you for any insight.

$10 says its a security issue when using that control.
try throwing the object into a package/applcation in MTS/Component
Services, and give it admin/your user priveledges. that way, the object
will be able to persist as the specified user

I'm afraid you've lost me here - not sure what you mean by throwing it
into an application in MTS Services - but I will start looking for
references about that, thank you!

If the object does anything at all with a user form (msgbox, OCX, etc.),
then it will not work in ASP. Worse still, it will crash your server.

Actually I have been running a dll from an ASP that calls another dll that
contains 2 controls without any problems. This is one step removed but the
problems should cascade up the chain if there are any. I think it depends
how the control is used.
