FUNCTION: CreateObject( )
CreateObject
(ServerName.TypeName,
RemoteServerName
)
The
CreateObject
function is used to create an object of the type specified in the argument.
The
Set
statement assigns the object reference to a variable or property. The keyword
Nothing
is used to unassign the object reference from the variable or property. Good programming techniques require that you unassign all objects before you exit the program.
There one mandatory and one optional argument.
ServerName.TypeName
ServerName
is the name of the application that provides the object.
TypeName
is the type (class) of object to be created.
RemoteServerName
The optional
RemoteServerName
argument was added in verson 5.0 and is used to create an object on a remote server. It is the name of the remote server. To use this argument, the internet security must be turned off.
In this first example, we create an instance of Microsoft Word.
Code:
<%
Set objWrd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
...
' Place any code you desire here
...
Set objWrd = Nothing
%>
In this second example, we create an object on a remote site.
Code:
%lt%
Set objFarAway = CreateObject("Word.Application", "FarAwayServerName")
...
' Place any code you desire here
...
Set objFarAway = Nothing
%>
