Write String to ASP from ActiveX DLL Component
Thanks Dag. The LONG was just something I was trying based on some sample
code on MS.
At any rate, I tried your suggestion and it doesn't work. I THINK the
procedure requires that the Msg variable be returned to the ASP page as an
array - and that's what I can't figure out how to do.
For example, in the code I am tring to get working, you can replace the last
line with
Msg = "ABCDEF"
and still can't do a response.write of the Msg() item in the ASP page.
Maybe I'm missing something simple.
