Bob,
I end up developing alot of COM components for ASP. There are two resources
I have found that gave me the best information. One is
http://www.yasdbooks.com/devaspcomp/index.htm which is a link to the Author
of "Developing ASP Components" by Shelley Powers. O'Reilly & Associates;
ISBN: 1565924460. There is a demo using Delphi 5 on the website that the
book doesn't cover. It was THE MOST helpful of any resource... Shelley is a
doll. She helped me when I was getting the old "Catastrophic Failure" from
ASP. Man, my boss was buggin... CATASTROPHIC!?! hehehehe
Geesh, some people get so bent out of shape... :)
The second book was mentioned before by Greg Peterson. "Delphi COM
Programming" by Eric Harmon (ISBN
1-57870-221-6) This one stays on my desktop. It is coffee stained and in
rough shape but I found to be a valuable resource. More so than Charlie
Calvert's book (Sorry Charlie... I love your book. But the other two were
better suited to what I was doing :) )
I hope this helps.
And if you need more info, feel free to contact me offlist. I'd be happy to
share. :)

Hi Bob,
>> Charlie Calvert's book Delphi 4 Unleashed gives a lot of Delphi COM & MTS
>> instruction.

Delphi 4 Unleashed doesn't cover ASP/ASO (it wasn't introduced until
Delphi 5), but it does contain (D)COM. And it has a rather good chapter
on WebBroker, I'd say (but I'm biased, since I wrote it ;-). See
http://www.drbob42.com/books to download the WebBroker chapter source.
Also, for a review on Delphi COM Programming (which might be helpful for
your quest as well), see http://www.drbob42.com/reviews/dcomprog.htm
