>>Apologies for a very basic query: I have built a DLL and am trying to pass in a parameter to set a property in a class via the INIT - see code below ; however it always returns an empty string i.e. the value given it when the class is defined, instead of say "P" as in the example below. The parameter being passed via the INIT is being ignored. I can get round this by using a procedure in the class to set the variable but I would have thought I should not have to do this?

Hi Paul
Thanks for the additional tip.
