Server.CreateObject Failed

Any idea why this is happening? The directory exists on the FS. It's an upload script to put files in a database directory. It errors out on the upload.

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

On possible problem is a firewall issue. Server.CreateObject will fail behind a firewall as it invokes MTS which cannot marshall the tx behind a firewall. Change your call to CreateObject instead because it goes straight thru and does not use MTS.

{edit} One other thing to check is to make sure you have the proper permissins to use the com object.

Permissions are all checked and rechecked so that cant be it. Unless I'm doign somethign drastically wrong that didn't work either.

<%
' Perform the upload
Set Post = CreateObject("ActiveFile.Post")
Post.Upload "D:\WWWRoot\Perabus.com\database\alphatest"

gives...

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'

ActiveX component can't create object: 'ActiveFile.Post'

Not certain what is up with that. Only thing I can think of is to try and find an answer here:
