John... I personally know that it is in the .EXE if I put it in the project. That is not the issue... I want to know programatically if a LIB was included before I try to create an object from it...

Basically, this is the logic...

Is thislib in set('CLASSLIB')?
Yes - Instntiate it

No:
Is thislib in the EXE ?

Yes - instantiate the object

No - Is thislib in a specified directory
Yes - instatiate it
No - Is thislib in the path
