COM support is included in the win binaries, you don't need any dll to use it. You probably need to set the permissions for the specific program that you are trying to instantiate (outlook). Use the DCOMcnfg.exe file. A+ Alain
-----Original Message----- From: Vail, Warren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 5:52 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [PHP-WIN] COM on NT I am trying to invoke COM on NT using the following line of code $outl = new COM("Outlook.Application") or die("Unable to instantiate Outlook"); and I get a DR.Watson alert for php.exe shows an "access violation". This is my first attempt to exercise COM on this site, so it could be something like a missing dll, or extension. What should I look for? should I precede this with a dl("php_xxxx.dll") to load an extension, if so which one? thanks in advance, Warren Vail Tools, Metrics & Quality Processes (415) 667-7814 Pager (877) 774-9891 215 Fremont 02-658 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Warning: All e-mail sent to or from this address will be received or otherwise recorded by the Charles Schwab corporate e-mail system and is subject to archival, monitoring or review by, and/or disclosure to, someone other than the recipient. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
