Thanks for suggestions PSaw, you were right, I've tried to implement the COM
Server using VB and everything works fine now. I'm really wondering what
kind of incompatibility was causing the problem though, Hope the COM
interface in PHP will get mature soon since they're talking about supporting
.NET which are -most of the time- wrapped with COM servers.
