Thanks for your suggestion. I forgot that 'Set' was required for objects
in VB - I've been programming in Perl and Java for too long.
Unfortunately though, this did not fix the problem.
It must be some sort of memory corruption within the com object that is
causing havoc in IIS. I'm going to attempt to write a standalone VB app
to debug the com object further.
