ahhhh......

ok...i tried creating a new exe program in vs6

i include the reference to the third-party dll

i put in just two lines of code:

Dim oServer As New IFSAP.Server
oServer.SetCredentials "corp\fejmx", "fejmx"

and as soon as the code tries to execute the second line....i get the exact same error as before

so i guess i have a more general question: if you have a thrid party dll and you try to set a valid property to some value and you get:

"error 430 - Class does not support automation or does not support expected interface"

what does that mean? (this same dll worked fine on friday)
