I have created a COM interface project in FD.  Whenever I call
create-dispatch(...) with a CLSID after properly calling OLE-initialize, I
get a return value of:

#x80040154.  I think this is the "class not registered" error.

I have tried this with the Outlook 8.0 object library UUID and the Excel 8
object library UUID, as in

create-dispatch("{00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" );  // Excel

create-dispatch( "{00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" ); // Outlook 8

Both of these object libraries exist, as confirmed by using VC's OLE Viewer
tool.


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks for any help.
