Hi,
I've created a DLL that uses MSWINSCK.OCX to Query a server. Using the DLL in a test program in VB, no error occurs.
If I'm calling the DLL from my ASP application, sometimes it works, sometimes I get the error:
DLLName error '800a0578'
Method '~' of object '~' failed
/page.asp, line 20
I've updated MDAC (twice) and have used the MDAC version check utility. This utility gives me a list of drivers and versions, and no errors.
The test program in VB runs on the same machine as IIS.
Does anyone know what to do? Anything I have to look for in the MDAC version check utility? Or is something else going on here?

Maybe I'm being haunted or something -
3 weeks ago I installed the latest version of MDAC. The installation completed and I rebooted the server. After that, the problem kept coming back. I repeated the reinstall of MDAC and the reboot - no changes in the situation.
Before asking this question, I downloaded the MDAC versions checker, as it's known as a 'final solution' to help fix the problem. But the tool gives me information that isn't usefull for me (more numbers that words :s). Also, there's no "Fix" button or something to help this poor noob I am.
I thought it might be smart to tell you guys/gals what version of MDAC I'm running, so I checked the same site I downloaded MDAC from, 3 weeks ago. It says "MDAC 2.8 Now Available for Download" dated August 7.
Yet after posting this question, I installed MDAC 2.8 and the problem *vanished*. Was MDAC 2.8 released at August 7, but posted on the site less than 3 weeks ago? I don't know, but the problem is gone.

By the way, the MDAC version is 2.8, running on Win2000 Adv. Server.
