I can't offer much help, but just so you know, I was talking to someone who was using ADO with MX and we got it working before the patch, but it was very slow.

Try coming at the problem a different way, and make sure you aren't trying to output any nulls being returned by the COM object... -- jon mailto:jonhall@;ozline.net Friday, October 25, 2002, 8:03:51 PM, you wrote: AD> Folks I would appreciate it if you took the time to review the following AD> threads regarding problems from applying the CFMX updater and attempts AD> to initiate COM after the installation of the updater.
