Hi,
I own my server at home and run simple outloopXP on it with no exchange.

I am trying to create a simple ASP page to allow me to view my mail.
  1.. I tried using VBScript and connect directly to outlook
  2.. I tried creating ActiveX DLL that does the outlook interface and I tried to connect from VBscript to this ActiveX DLL to get the service.
The Event viewer is telling me:
  Event Type: Error
  Event Source: DCOM
  Event Category: None
  Event ID: 10010
  Date:  7/21/2002
  Time:  8:17:56 PM
  User:  ...
  Computer: xyz
  Description:
  The server {xxxyyyzzz} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Both attempts ended up in timeout when I tried to call methods in the activeX DLL that were releated to the outlook access.
Let's ignore the security popup message in outlook. i put the security down to the lowest for now.

What am I missing?

thanks
David
