Actually I had tried the old "F1" trick but nothing happened. That
was because I was reading the word as "Colnitialize" when it was
actually "CoInitialize". Spot the difference?? (is the 3rd letter a
lower case "L" or an upper case "i").
Well I was fooled and am suitably retrite.
Now back to the problem .... Why might I get two very different
results from inserting this ActiveX component into two different
applications? Why does the one that works not need to have a call
to CoInitialize included but the other might???
And why can't I get a call to CoInitialize to work? What unit do I
need to include to make it happen??
