Server object
A collection of methods provided by the webserver.
Server.CreateObject method
Creates an instance of a COM server component.
Usage: Set obj= Server.CreateObject(progid)
Details: This method creates and returns a COM object specified by progid.
Important:
Using Server.CreateObject rather than a language construct (like CreateObject(progid) in VBScript, new ActiveXObject(progid) in JScript,
or $Win32::OLE->new(progid)in PerlScript) allows IIS to manage the object, by handling concurrency, termanation, etc.
