Steve,

thanks for this... the only problem I have is I can't find clireg32.exe
:-( ... but I'll try the /regserver thingy...

Thanks

Andy

OK.

First - your parameters are the wrong way round.

The first parameter is the class name (or ProgID) "xyz.class".

The second parameter is the server name.

Second - yes, the class needs to be known on the local machine. If the
server is an VB ActiveX Exe, it's easier if there are VBR and TLB files.
These are generated with the Remote Server Files checkbox in the Project
Properties. If you have these, use clireg32.exe to register the files on
the client.

If you don't have these, copy the server .EXE to the client and run it
with the /regserver command-line parameter.

If the server is an ActiveX DLL, then you must be running a DLL surrogate
on the server. This is most likely to be MTS, in which case, use MTS to
create a client setup program.

Hope that helps, if not, let me know.

Cheers,
Steve

I was just starting to 'tinker' with it.. I assumed that I could use

Set myobject =
CreateObject("TheServerTheAppIsOn","xyz.class")

but get (error 463) Class not registered on local machine. So, does this
mean that I can run a little util to register the class or do I have to
install the app on the local machine too - not to run it but to register
the class... if you get my drift

[ You'll need to assume that I didn't write the server and have no access
to the code for it - i.e. I just want to attach to it and get info/give it

out]

Did I read correctly that someone was using VB and DCOM in here...
