vb active-x dll won't work in asp page

I can't get an active-x dll created with vb to work in an asp page.
The dll's name is Test.dll. The class name is clsTesto. I've got a public function GetVal that simply passes a value back:
Public Function GetVal()
GetVal = "Hello World"
End Function
In the ASP page I have this:
set x = CreateObject("Test.clsTesto")
Respose.Write x.GetVal
set x = Nothing

What happens when you run your ASP page? Are you getting an error?

btw - if the object is being created on the server, and i assume it is, the correct syntax is "server.createobject()"

You need to make sure the dll is properly registered. Check in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and you should find a folder for Test. VB6 typiccally registeres active x dll files for you when you build them though. you can run regsvr32.exe c:\....\test.dll and register it manually if you need to.

also, you need to use Server.CreateObject

and go to tools->internet options->advanced and turn off "show friendly HTTP errors" . you'll actually get meaningful ASP errors after you disable that.
