Please help (section 5)

I have been steadily working my way through the article "your first COM client". I have a com component that I built using Borland Builder. It is an exe.

When I use HRESULT hr = CoInitialise(NULL) my code returns false. Is this correct.????

And when I try and compile my code it complains when I am trying to create and instance of the component:

My COM class is CCSConnection, so I typed:

_CCSConnection *valid;

By the compiler complained:

error C2065: '_CCSConnection' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'valid' : undeclared identifier
error C2296: '*' : illegal, left operand has type ''unknown-type''
error C2297: '*' : illegal, right operand has type ''unknown-type''

Any suggestions????
