I'm trying to call 'Baan4.Application' throught COM functions,

I put:

$baan = new COM("Baan4.Application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word");

but the next message is displayed:

Unable to obtain IDispatch interface for CLSID {E137FE76-25D4-4B23-B660-B7101F4D0E99}

By the other side, if I call from excel with the samples of baan, it is OK,

what's wrong?

Thanks

From the official PHP-manual at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.com.php

7. What does 'Unable to obtain IDispatch interface for CLSID {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}' mean ?

This error can have multiple reasons:


* the CLSID is wrong

* the requested DLL is missing

* the requested component doesn't implement the IDispatch interface

yes, I saw this help in php.net, but I don't understand what they want to say with that

Have I register 'baan.tbl'? How? when I do in excel it is ok

Sorry, no idea. I am fairly comfortable with PHP but COM is new to me.

just an idea but try calling a specific BWC file

Baan4.Application.nameofBWC

I tryed with 'Baan4.Application.namebcw', and displayed the same

I think that is because I had installed multiple clients inn the server, I don't know.

New information:

When I look the bshell archive show this information:

Error in CreateInstance(IUnknow*, REFIID, LPVOID*). SendOleEvent timed out.

any ideas?
