Hello,
I have been using a 32 bit DLL in SQL Server 2000 extended stored procedures
and it works just fine. Now I have upgraded my SQL Server 2000 32 bit to SQL
Server 2005 64 bit edition.
The same extended stored procedures now give error when I call them using
sp_OACreate.. It gives the error "Class not registered" even though the DLL
file is present in the "SysWow64" folder and it has been correctly registered
using regsvr32.
On a SQL Server 2005 32 bit edition, it works well. So, it is just the SQL
Server 2005 64 bit edition that seems cannot load the 32 bit DLL.. Is that
right?. What options do I have now so that I can continue the use the same 32
bit DLLs in 64 bit SQl Server 2005?.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Ganesh
I am not an expert on this but it looks like only 64 but registrations can
be used by sp_OA... but I have not found anything to say that is the case.
