>You'll need to create a new method that sets path, opens the database, etc., then move the code from the Init to that method.

I ran another test: I created the simplest form of OLE Public class as follows.

define class TestClass as Session OLEPUBLIC
enddefin && TestClass

Then built a DLL, copied to the Test Dir and registered it. I get the same error message when I try to CreateObject. It seems to be a global problem. On the other hand, this code works:

o = CREATEOBJECT("visualfoxpro.application")
