I'm reposting this for you, Trey, because the HTML was corrupted to the point where I couldn't read it. I don't know how Mark replied to it....
>I don't think it's any different than on a 95 or NT client or server.

>You must have a class created OLEPublic - if it's a visual class, in the Class Info dialog there's a check box for this; if it's a coded class, CREATE CLASS OLEPUBLIC (see the help for specifics).

>My $.02 -- this is great stuff but not quite there yet. We have a rather extensive report submitted to MS on our findings. We got word back that they got the report and that we should expect to hear something in a couple of days. This was over a month ago, so either they found something that we totally missed but aren't letting us know or they can't figure it out either.
