Hi,

this is the full error message.

[0BA0:0002-0BF0] 13.01.2015 11:14:41 AMgr: Agent ('TestIncomingMail Test' in 'mail\administ.nsf') error message: Cannot create automation object

All i did is creating a little com-dll that is called in the agent, after a mail arrives.

This is my Code in the Agent:

Dim obj As Variant
MsgBox "Test1"
Set obj = CreateObject("MyComDll.Interface") MsgBox "Test2"
Call obj.ConnectionTest()

If i do this from an Action in Notes directly (on the server), everything works fine. I also wrote a test program to try if i can use this dll on the server. Everything is working fine. But if i do this in an Agent, i get the error message above.

Really have no idea what to do. Already restarted the server and gave the agent maximum permissions.

Does someone have an idea what i'm doing wrong? Or is it just not allowed to use CreateObject from an Agent running on the server?

Thanks in Advance. :)

EDIT: I've also found this link:

But if i do this and just start the Agent from another agent the same thing is happening.

EDIT2: If i call another com object, like MSXML2.DOMDocument at the same position it is working fine. It just don't likes this DLL. Must the DLL located at a special position? I put it in the domino directory but this also does not work.

EDIT3: I placed the DLL in c:\domino, in c:\domino\data\, in c:\domino\data\mail, in "c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4..." and some other locations. Still does not want to run. I also tried to remove all UI components, like messageboxes. Still no success.
