Sounds like the marshalling code for the interface insn't available in the
client machine.

assuming you are using early binding:

Dim o as MyCOmponent

set o = CreateObject( ... )

rather than

Dim o as object

etc

You need to register the typelibrary or proxy/stub on the client machine.
What language is the remote component written in?

Subject: VB Client acessing Com Component Remotely

Hi !!!

I am facing some problem in acessing COM Component registered on a different
machine. My client is in VB 6.0 and I am using CreateObject function to
create the object remotely. To my surprise, I am getting "Run Time Error :
429 ActiveX can't create object".
Another thing, when I register my COM Component on the same system where I
am running the client, then it's working fine. Why is this??? I don't want
to register that COM Component on that machine and want to run it remotely.
How can I do that.

Regards,
Ashok
