Automation error Interface not registered -2147221163

[Morgan]

Guys,
My environment is VB6, Oracle 9i, COM+ and Citrix.
VB application is deployed in Citrix servers. Citrix Server connects to COM+
server and COM+ server handles database connectivity.

One user reported the following error while trying to make a connection to
COM+ server from the VB appication hosted in Citrix server.

Error Number: -2147221163
Error Description: Automation error interface not registered.

From the code I would assume that this error occured while executing

Set objX=New DLL.Classname
str=objX.Getblahblah(....

The error was not reproducible, I was able to login to the same server and
able to work with no error, other users connecting to the same server also
didn't report any error.

Can you please help me in solving this issue.

Best regards
Morgan

Have you tried creating a completely new profile/user (such as adding
yourself as a user) on the errant box?

Citrix goes out of its way to provide a unique environment for each user. My
wild guess there is something unusual with this user's profile, the box, or
the wire. Testing a different user on the same box will help rule-out, or
confirm, the box and wire as being the problem.

Hi Ralph,

I did go to the same box and was able to successfully access the same record.
There are atleast 6 citrix servers in the production environment, users will
be connected to different citrix servers for each session. This error
happened 2 weeks back, after that things look normal.
I am worrying this error may pop up after some time.

Thanks for your help.
I am open for any suggestions.

Thanks
Morgan

Well considering there is at a bare minimum 128+ processes running on a
server at rest, at least 8 to 15 layers of indirection with any call, and
chips have become cosmic rays detectors - you may just have to chalk it up
to a reason why we add all that damn error-handling. <g>
