CreateObject Exception in ASP - Win2003 & IIS6

[shall]

I copied ASP( Classic) pages from NT4 to Server2003.
One asp page calls a Foxpro DLL.

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0241'

CreateObject Exception

/mypage.asp

The CreateObject of '(null)' caused exception C0000005

Microsoft Active Server Pages error '80020009'

An external object raised an error. No Error Description Available.

/mypage.asp, line 123

'''''''''''''''''''''''''' Below is the line of code that bombs ==

set oDLL = Server.CreateObject("PgmPow.fcsPow")

This exception happens sporadically.
I have registered the DLL. It works a few days or over a week before I
get the above error.

Comments?
TIA
Steve

There is a fault in the DLL. C0000005 is an Access Violation. Is this DLL
expecting to be use in a multithreaded server environment?

Yes- I created the DLL as a multithreaded object.
We could have several people calling this DLL from the same web page.

Thanks.

What about its dependant components. Something in this binary is generating
an access violation which usually means either there is a buggy component at
play or a component is being used in an unexpected way.

Not sure- When I build it ,on server 2003, in Visual Foxpro 6, I
select option "Multi-threaded COM server (dll)
like I always have. I did NOT have this problem on NT4.
I did a "regsvr32 " on my DLL, like I always have.
I'll do some reserach on it.

Thanks.Steve
