IDLcomIDispatch question (newbie alert!) [message #39085]

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong in the following line:

xl = obj_new("IDLcomIDispatch$PROGID$Excel_Application")

I was hoping this would create a reference to excel, but it's giving
me the error:
"OBJ_NEW: Requested object doesn't exist."
Which is weird to me, because I am 90% sure I'm using the correct
PROGID....at least I know that this PROGID works when i try to use COM
objects using other languages like VB or PERL. Any help would be
greatly appreaciated. I've searched the archives for excel references
and what i found doesn't look too promising, so I don't have high
hopes that I'm going to get this to work, but hopefully one of you
fine folks will show me something silly that I've missed :)

Thanks and have a good weekend,
Jeff
