Accessing a COM object from Python

[Hans Kristian Ruud]

Hello.

I am currently experimenting with accessing COM-objects from
Python, as described in Mark Hammond and Andy Robinsons
book "Python programming on Win32" (great book).
Accessing Microsoft Excel (as described in the book) works fine, but
when I try our
Company's homegrown Com object, I get this error message:

>>> mikon = win32com.client.Dispatch("MikonChips.MiDataSource")
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "D:\program files\Python\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 13,
in Dispatch
    dispatch, userName =
dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx)
  File "D:\program files\Python\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 67, in
_GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
    return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)
  File "D:\program files\Python\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 58, in
_GetGoodDispatch
    IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx,
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
com_error: (-2146959355, 'Server execution failed', None, None)
>>>

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance from the clueless one....
