My guess is that when you instantiate the object from ASP using
Server.CreateObject(), the Server object itself provides information to your
DLL that isn't provided when CFOBJECT is used. For example, I've got a DLL
which can open a text file. If I call that DLL from ASP, I can specify a
file path relative to the ASP page itself. If I call the same DLL using
CFOBJECT, I have to specify a full file path.
