SYMPTOMS
========

When you run the VBClientExplicitSecurity tutorial sample, you receive the
following error message:

  Object Creation Failed: ActiveX component can't create object.

CAUSE
=====

The statement

     Set objSecurityContext = CreateObject("Cedar.HostSecurityContext")

specifies the wrong PROGID. The correct PROGID is

     COMTI.HostSecurityContext

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around the problem, perform the following steps:

1. In the Visual Basic (VB) development environment, open the following
  project:

     ~\sna\Comti\Tutorials\CedarBank\VBClientExplicitSecurity
     \CedarBank.vbp

  NOTE: The path and project name should be typed as one line.

2. Select the Form, frmMain (Testbank.frm)

3. On the View menu, click Code.

4. Locate both occurrences of the line

        Set objSecurityContext = CreateObject("Cedar.HostSecurityContext")

  and change each statement to

        Set objSecurityContext = CreateObject("COMTI.HostSecurityContext")

5. On the File menu, click Make, and then select CedarBank.exe from the menu (or
  test by running in VB debug mode).

STATUS
