I have built a very small OCX using the VC++ 4.1 project Wizard. The
control supports a single method with no arguments and no return
value.

The VC++ OLE test container tool works fine. It allows me to invoke
methods without difficulty.

However, whenever I try invoking methods on the object from VB, VBA
within Excel, or VC++ clients they all return "OLE Automation error -
Catastrophic failure" after a successful object create.

This is running under NT 4.0 Beta 1.

Am I missing something? Is this the proper way to create OCX objects? 

Thanks,
