Hello Shamil, Thank you for your thoughts. The machine I am trying to install this on is windows 7 64 bit. I am new to running applications on 64 bit machines. I looked in the Framework\v3.5 folder and did not see regasm. Did not think of looking in v2.0. That may be the problem. I started with the dll/tlb in my work folder for testing but had issues with that, so tried system32 out of frustration/ignorance. In your example path to regasm you did not put the full path to the dll or tlb file. I have been putting in the full path. I assume yours was just a shortcut. True? As I said when I developed this it worked, but Visual Studio does the registration in the background so that wasn't an issue. I need to learn all aspects of moving this around so it will work on any user machine. Thank you again for your input. You have given me some things to try.

What RegAsm command line format did you use? Something like that: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe MyDotNetUtils.dll /tlb:MyDotNetUtils.tlb /codebase /nologo /silent ? What's the use of custom DLLs put into c:\windows\system32 folder? I do use custom folder c:\MyPrograms for my customers - it works well - used .NET "COM-visible" DLL/typelib with VB6 front-end application as well as with MS Access 2003 and 2007 front-end applications. Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Doug Murphy Sent: 11 ????? 2011 ?. 0:54 To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] using a visual studio created dll on a windows 7 machineand access 2010 Folks, I have a dll I created in Visual Studio 3.5. that provides the capability to create very structured xml files from access data. It worked great on my development machine with access 2003 and visual studio 2008 installed on it. Now I have moved to a windows 7 machine. I moved the access 2003 mdb file to the Windows 7 machine. Moved my .dll and it's associated .tlb file to the Windows/system32 directory. Then ran the regasm version in the Windows\microsoft.net\framework64\v2.0.50727 directory. This is supposed to be the version of regasm.exe for framework 3.5 files. Regasm says it registered the dll and it is in the registry. The problem is I reference it from access using the vba tool/references menu. Can't even find it from the browse button on the tools/references when I look in Windows\system32. Anyone have any suggestions on this? I don't know if this is a permission/security issue or what. I need to figure this out as I need to be able to run this on various machines at a customer's office after I get it running here. There we have a mix of Vista and Windows 7 machines. I appreciate any guidance.
