Hello!

I made an InProc automation object using Delphi3 lately. What I want
to do with it is to create an instance of it in VBScript using
CreateObject in a sub. Then I should get a pointer to it with
GetObject in another sub. Take a look at this example:

______________________________________________________

Sub window_onLoad()
  Dim vObject
  set vObject = CreateObject("Object.Automation")
  vObject.Start
End Sub

Sub Check_OnClick()
  Dim vLObject
  set vLObject = GetObject("", "Object.Automation")

'>>> Insert some calls to vLObject's methods and properties here <<<'

  set vLObject = Nothing
End Sub
______________________________________________________


What I get when I try it in internet explorer 4 is this error message:

	"Unexpected call to method or property access."

I get prompted from this error each time I try to access a method or a
property inserted where specified in the source code written in this
message.

Is there a way to make it work? You should know that I cannot use
vObject, created with CreateObject but I want to use the same instance
that's been created in Sub window_onLoad()...

In my (limited) VB experience, I've found that moving the Dim vObject into
global scope works the best for me.  However, the fact that you're
attempting this from within IE may be your problem.  I don't think that
VBScript in IE allows CreateObject, for security reasons.

Firstly, my first goal is not to implement this in Internet Explorer.
I want it to be included in a source code generated by Obsydian 3. I
use Explorer 4 for tests purposes. In Obsydian, it's impossible to set
global variables in vb scopes, so, for this this reason, I'm trying to
make it work in explorer in 2 different subs with local variables.

I found on microsoft support online that vbscript v1.0 did not support
creatobject (it now does)
