All parts of this application is written in VB 6.0. I have a dll on
the server registered through COM+ and have exported it to a msi
that's been installed on the workstation. Some of the time, the
workstations run just fine. Then all of a sudden they aren't able to
call a function on the server that they were previously able to call
and they get error 424 (and sometimes it reboots the workstation). I
know it has something to do with calling the component on the server,
but don't know anything beyond that (other than it possibly involving
the network setup). I also don't understand why it works part of the
time and not other times.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

What is the program doing when the error 424 is thrown?

"Run time error '424': Object required"

You need to find out exactly what the program is doing when this error
occurs. I have a module I use in VB6 that logs errors, with your help
of course. It may help you track down the problem.

Let me know if you have any problems...

It happens when the component is being called on the server. I have
used very extensive error handling that tells the project, module,
function, and even the line number where the errors occur. However,
when this error comes up, it only lists the project. This usually
means that there's a problem with the references and the code isn't
actually reached (when it sees that there's a problem with the
references, it kicks out and generates the error). I know that
there's not a problem with the references because the code works part
of the time and not others. And if a reference were missing I think
it would be error 429, not 424.
