Hi,
I am trying to use COM to create an object from a DLL.

To do this I have added the following code:
#define COM_NO_WINDOWS_H
#include <objbase.h>

and then included the header file for the DLL:
#include "c:\source\wClientDLL\wClient.h"

I then tried to create a pointer to the object I want to create (I think)
CComPtr<IwClient>   m_iwClient;

but the compiler gives me some errors:
Error: E2303 Type name expected
Error: E2139 Decleration mission ;

I have noticed that this seems to work in some of the included cpp files
that come with the borland command-line tools (dxhelp3.cpp being an
example), but doesn't seem to work for me.

I can't really seem to find any documentation for borland tools for this
(they all seem to use MS VC++), so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Scott
