Hi Mark,

      Python 2.3 with pywin32-208 works. The error I receive reads
"Object through and exception at line 3".

How do you get that error? You say "my dll throws an exception immediately upon entry" - I can't reconcile that "with the error I receive". What does Python do when calling your failing DLL? (ie, do you get a traceback? If so, please include it completely. If not, what result does Python get? I'm still very unclear on the context of your problem.

      Un-registering and re-registering the dll does not help.

But that's just unregistering and re-registering your DLL right?

      The test was conducted on the same machine after uninstalling
Python and re-installing numerous combinations of Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6,
2.7 with associated pywin32-208 thry pywin32-214.

     If I uninstall the newer Python and re-install Python 2.3 and
pywin32-208 all is OK again. It is definitely environmental as opposed
to the code.

Well - it's *someone's* code :)  To be clear, 2.3 + pywin32 209 fails?

Mark

Thanks,
Ed

    You haven't given us enough information to help.  What error do you
    see?  What is the most recent combination of Python and pywin32 that
    works?

        Hi Folks,

              I have an ActiveX COM dll generated by VisualBasic 6 in
        WinXP. I
        can call it and use it successfully with Python 2.3 and pywin32-208
        without problems.

              As soon as I upgrade either pywin32- or Python to anything
        itself
        to anything newer, my dll throws an exception immediately upon
        entry.

              Can anyone point me in a general direction with respect to
        addressing this incompatibility?

        Thanks,
        Ed
