Invoking an mts object from asp using get & post methods.

[Martin McManus]

Can anyone help me, or point me in the right direction.

I have an asp page that invokes an mts object - The asp page is called using
a method="post". This all works fine, however if I wanted to call the object
via a URL, rather than the asp page I run into problems. To test this I tried
changing the method to "get", so I could see the parameters being passed
to the asp page, this is all well and good, but for some reason the mts object
is not invoked.

I expect this is a blatantly obvious error, that shows up my total inexperience
with mts and asp. I would appreciate it if somebody could show me the way.

Martin,
I have used many of objects within ASP. I have never invoked them via a URL,
Always within a ASP page. First big set is to make sure that the Component
is registered on the server (within MTS/COM+). Them you have an ASP that
has this code:
Set obj = Server.CreateObject("DLLNAME.CLASSMODULE")

This will invoke your object.if you are working on a workstation and have
the components registered on another server. You might want to register the
Component on your local machine this will all the auto completes within Interdev.
This should help you out. Oh yeah on more thing make sure that you setup
the COM object within MTS/COM+ not to use interactive User. You must change
this so that if no one is logged into the server the Component will still
work.
