ScottBaker,

1. Please add the atdole.dll reference in your application, then publish again.

2. Since you develop the application on .NET Framework 2.0, however, the version of stdole is 7.0.3300.0 that seems that it is compiled on .NET Framework 1.1. You need to recompile the component on version .NET 2.0 with the upgrade wizard, you will make the stdole component works well on .NET Framework 2.0. Then just add reference for the component and publish again.
