I fought typelib- and typelib won.

I am trying to extend Crystal Reports with Python. The documented way to do
this is to create a COM automation server with a specific naming
convention that CR will then present inside the UI as user functions. That
was easy enough to start, but apparently you need to register your code in
type libraries as well. I have been unable to make ANY progress on that
front. I have a an IDL document that I was able to compile with MIDL.EXE and
I attempted to build my exe with the -tbl switch that py2exe requires. It
seems to build with no errors, but when I register the .exe, I see no
entries under typelib in the registry. I can talk com to my code as a client
from pythonwin and, I assume, vb.

I have really hit a wall with this. Even talking to vb programmers is
useless, since for the most part they are just trained monkeys that just
check the box that says 'create typelib'. It looks like I am going to have
to accept defeat and purchase an off-the-shelf solution.

Hello! I am attempting to discover the remote user for an INTRAnet site, but cannot see how to do this cleanly. It seems so simple, too... (IIS is NOT being used) ALL I need is the user ID that logged in; when they log into their workstation, that is good enough for this intranet set, and I am willing to believe who they say they are. I would like them to be automatically logged into the site using their ID (this part is simple,...

Hi, I would really appreciate if somebody could give some advise on this. I've a ASP.NET application that is supposed to send emails and it is tested to be working well on IIS 5.0 and tested working in .NET Framework 1.0/1.1. Recently this is ported over to IIS 6.0 using .NET Framework 1.1 and the error "Could Not Access CDO.Message object" is encountered. I suspect it could be due to the low privilege asp.net
