vb.net dll wont run under Vista

[Charles Day]

I have a relatively straightforward dll, written in VB.net, that will not
run properly under Vista. Not sure i this is a vb.net issue, but I thought
I'd start here.

The process is this:

We pass 1) an ID for a person in our database, and 2) an ID for an RTF
format document (a standard form of some kind) to an ASP page. This RTF
document has specially denoted fields on it, e.g. <<LastName>> that are to
be replaced with data from the DB

The ASP page 1) gets the data pertaining to the person from our DB as an XML
document and, 2) calls the dll to do a "text replace", i.e. replace
<<LastName>> with the actual last name of the person, then 3) opens the RTF
document in Word or Word Viewer for printing or whatever the user wishes.

This process works flawlessly under XP, but wont work under Vista. We have
reviewed permissions, etc. and just dont know where to start to solve this
problem.

Does the dll need to be rebuilt on a Vista machine or with some other
reference we aren't ware of?

Any guidance appreciated.

Won't work ? That is ? Do you have an error message ? Does it print
something incorrect ?

If you don't see anything at all make sure your app doesn"t hide a possible
exception.

Does it work in debug mode? Or are you using Trace objects to output
procedure status you could use to pinpoint a problem? Does anything
show in the Window's EventLog?

Thanks,
