Error when creating a second instance of a COM control

Hi Experts,

I am developing a small COM control using Visual Basic 6.0. Everything works fine with the control until I try to make two simultaneously running instances of it. The first instance is created without any problems, however the second does give the following error:

Not enough storage is aviable to complete this operation

I have enough RAM and hard drive space available. I tried the same control with ASP and with a small Delphi application and I get the same error.

I suppose my control is somehow configured to run only a single instance, but I don't know how to control this. Can someone help?

Thanks!

What is your OS and which service pack you have installed?

The OS is Windows XP, SP 1 and SP2 (two machines).

I have some global variables. I will try to move them in a class and come back with a post after it.
@EDDYKT: Unfortunately not
What do you do inside your COM object? Database accessing?


Is your COM object ocx or dll?
It was a problem with the log I was using - it was using a file and probably locked it. I now use the Event Log of NT and it works just fine.
