John, .Net takes care of registering any COM objects that you reference in your projects. If you look at the bin folder where your project was compiled it will contain an Interop.COMObject.dll file corresponding to the COMObject that you referenced. That's just one of the "beauties" of .Net. :) When you deploy the app to another machine all you need to do is to copy your application DLL and the Interop DLLs to make it work.

I will certainly look at that stuff if I need to do this on another machine (actually use this thing). John W.

It uses regasm and gacutil to remove any previously named dll and reinstalls in the registry. See : http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/howto/doc/Interop/Building_Samples_C OM2NET.aspx the install batch file looks like this for your dll FX20Wrapper.dll regasm "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\system.windows.forms.dll" gacutil -u FX20Wrapper regasm /u "VB2005\FX20Wrapper\bin\Release\FX20Wrapper.dll" regasm /tlb "VB2005\FX20Wrapper\bin\Release\FX20Wrapper.dll" gacutil -i "VB2005\FX20Wrapper\bin\Release\FX20Wrapper.dll" To use Access set a reference to the tlb file that will be in a directory like below depending on where you installed the project. \VB2005\FX20Wrapper\bin\Release\FX20Wrapper.tlb The tlb will allow Access to see the class definitions and do a compile. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com No virus found in this incoming message.
