grab info from other site

I'm trying to grab the info and put it on my site but i get this error
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/yahoo.asp, line 5

I think it has something missing with InetCtls.Inet

Code:


    <%
    Dim objInet , strURL , strOpen
    'create an instance of inet transfer con
    '     trol
    Set objInet = Server.CreateObject("InetCtls.Inet")
    'this is our page , in this case the sym
    '     bol is msft (Microsoft)
    strURL ="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=msft&d=c&k=c4"
    'set th etimeout value
    objInet.RequestTimeout = 40
    'set the url to strURL
    objInet.Url = strURL
    'download the page
    strOpen = objInet.OpenUrl
    'our starting point the page
    startPoint= InStr( strOpen, "<BIG>Chart: </BIG>" ) 
    'our end point on the page
    endPoint = InStr( startPoint, strOpen, "Add To My Portfolio</A>" )
    'store it all in the variable strYahoo
    strYahoo = Mid( strOpen, startPoint, endPoint-startPoint )
    'clear up
    Set objInet = nothing
    %>
    <%= strYahoo%>
