Hello,

I have a question about delphi interfacing with a native C++ COM object
created in VC++ 2k5. I have a com object that I am trying to create in
a Delphi app. I can successfully create this object in a c++ container.
Anyway, the code looks like this on the Delphi end of things (I am not
a Delphi developer, so please forgive me if I omit something important
- I'll add it to the topic if I need to - this seems to be the meat of
it though...)

constructor TMainForm.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
var
vApplication: variant;
x: integer;
begin
try
vApplication := CreateOleObject(Server);
except
On EExternalException do
begin
ShowMessage('Unable to create server. '+Server);
Application.Terminate;
end;
On EOleError do
begin
ShowMessage('Unable to create server.'+Server);
Application.Terminate;
end;
end;
end;

On the CreateOleObject(Server) - there is an invalid variant operation
error - is there any set of issues I can look for that can cause this
problem? THanks for any help - let me know if I need to post more info
to clarify the problem.
