Problems with Microsoft Web Browser Control

I am developing an Active-X control that has a Web Browser control embedded in it.  It fails whenever I try to create the web browser control.  I have even spawned a dialog box with a webbrowser control in it but it will not create either.  Are there any special considerations when using the Web Control in an Active-X control. I have used the Web Control in other applications successfully.

How do you do it? How does it fail? ...

If I build a dialog in the resource editor and then create it as a modeless dialog box from within the activex control.  The dialog box fails on the .Create() call and just never gets displayed.  If I just try to put a webbrowser control in my activex control it fails on the .Create() of the webbrowser but it actually gives me an assertion error.  I can give you more detail tomorrow.
Just a thought here.

Have you initialized COM?

This must be in InitInstance or somewhere in the startup code.

CoInitialize( NULL );

That doesn't help.  I have never had to initialize COM functionality when using this control though I just tried it and nothing still.
