I have created a COM object that has 2 functions. Each function accepts an
argument, then accesses Oracle database and returns a single value.
The function works perfectly fine when I run the com object as a stand alone
application. If I register it in OLAP and try to use one of the functions, I
am getting the following error message:

Unable to display cell properties. The operation has failed because of an
error in the COM component. The RPC server is unavailable. An error occured
during attempt to get a cell value.

If I open the COM object and comment out all database connections and just
return the hard coded value, the function works fine in OLAP and my cell has
a value from the COM object.

I realize that the problem might be with the COM object and I am working on
it, but I am not able to find any explanation to the error I am getting -
RPC server is not available - what does it mean?

THanks
