What is the detailed error message?

I found a solution to this the night I put this question on the web, <br />
<br />
rWilson is correct, borland put the coInitialize call in the application.initialize section of all projects, but for whatever reason they missed it out of the web server project, so the answer to this problem is to add the coInitialize call before trying to create you're COM class.

I have a database at the back-end,<br />
a VB COM exe accessing the DB, and a delphi Web Server Project calling the VB COM object (by importing type lib), and a web front-end calling the delphi app.<br />
I made a dummy delphi program to call the VB app to get data from the DB and it worked fine, but now when I use a Web Server Project and call from IExplorer, it returns with an OLE Object creation error.<br />
It can no longer create the object defined within the Type Library...<br />
<br />
why????
